Summary

To research the effect of Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) for neonatal respiratory failure.

Detailed description

Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure(BiPAP) is similar to Non Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV), but also gives some breaths, or extra support, to newborn infants through a small tube in the nose. BiPAP is safe and effective. Nevertheless, BiPAP has never been used in Chinese babies.

Conditions

• Neonatal Respiratory Failure
