Outcomes for infants weighing less than 1000 grams cared for with a nasal continuous positive airway pressure-based strategy.
To compare outcomes for infants weighing less than 1000 g treated with a predominantly nasal continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) approach (modelled on that of Columbia University, New York) with outcomes audited by the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN). ⋯ Improved respiratory outcomes for infants weighing less than 1000 g were evident at Middlemore Hospital. This was attributed to the use of a nasal CPAP-based respiratory support system.
