Comparative Study
Ultrasonographic Confirmation of Endotracheal Tube Position in Neonates.
To compare endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance obtained by ultrasonography vs. that obtained by chest X-ray in neonates. ⋯ Ultrasonography and chest X-ray are equally accurate for determination of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina in infants. As ultrasonography is more easily available and is safer than X-ray, it may be a better modality for confirming proper placement of endotracheal tube in neonates.

Observational Study
Heated Humidified High Flow Nasal Cannula versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure as Primary Mode of Respiratory Support for Respiratory Distress in Preterm Infants.
To compare the outcomes of preterm infants with respiratory distress initiated on either Heated Humidified High Flow Nasal Cannula or Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure as a primary mode of respiratory support. ⋯ Heated Humidified High Flow Nasal Cannula was comparable to Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure as a primary respiratory support for preterm infants with respiratory distress, with lesser incidence of nasal trauma.
