Respiratory Distress Neonatal Clinical Trial
Official title:
Adaptive Dynamic Inspiratory Nasal Apparatus (ADINA): Comparison to High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)
This study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a pressure limited nasal cannula system instead of a high flow nasal cannula system in the management of premature babies with respiratory distress.
NCPAP has been used increasingly to manage respiratory distress in newborns as well as apnea of prematurity. Humidified high flow nasal cannula devices (flows 1-8 lpm) have also been used in neonatal intensive care units. This study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a pressure limited nasal cannula system instead of a high flow nasal cannula system in the management of premature babies with respiratory distress. ;
