Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: In preterm and term infants receiving nHFT- and CPAP-ventilation, respectively, nasopharyngeal pressure is measured. In addition, confounding factors for example diameter of the nares or move

All
Age
1 Days to 4 Months
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All term and preterm infants treated in the neonatal intensive care unit and the neonatal intermediate care unit of the Universitätsmedizin Göttingen who require non-invasive ventilatory support, whose parents consented, and are without any exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Poor clinical condition (e.g. sepsis); increased tendency to bleed; anatomical characteristics, that make inserting of a nosogastric tube difficult (e.g. choanal atresia); patients in whom inserting nasogastric tubes was very difficult or who do not tolerate this procedure; colonisation with multiresistent bacteria or infection with noro- or adenovirus
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| What is the correlation between airflow, nasopharyngeal pressure, and biometric parameters of the individual patient during nHFT (Nasal High-Flow Therapy) and nCPAP (nasal Continous Positive Airway Pressure)? | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| What are the confounding factors (diameter of the nares, fixation and size of mask and prongs, leakage, movement of the infant) that influence the pressure in the nasopharynx? | — |
