First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 85 very premature babies (24-29 weeks) with breathing problems to compare two types of non-invasive breathing support: nasal CPAP and nasal IPPV. Both methods deliver surfactant (a lung treatment) without a breathing tube. The goal was to see which method reduces the need for a breathing machine within 72 hours. The study found no clear winner, but helps doctors understand options for these fragile infants.
