Abstract

Noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation compared with nasal continuous positive airway pressure significantly reduced the number of desaturations and bradycardia in preterm infants. However, noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation was associated with increased oxygen requirements and higher heart rates.
