V. Immaturity of the lungs: neonatal perspective - maintenance of adequate ventilation
Maintenance of adequate ventilation. Nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy in infants with RDS improves oxygenation, decreases oxygen requirements, reduces the need of intubation, mechanical lung ventilation, and mortality. Earlier application of the CPAP therapy is beneficial. Combination of early surfactant administration with CPAP therapy seems a promising approach to treatment of the tiny baby.
