Brief summary
Facial scans of newborns will be performed before and after implementation of respiratory support devices such as nasal CPAP. 3D scanned images will be processed by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited. Images will be analyzed for changes or distortion in nasal structure.
Detailed description
Any newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns between 24-42 weeks CGA with parental informed consent are eligible. 3D scanned image will be obtained prior to implementation of nasal support devices and after nasal support devices. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited will analyze the 3D images and observations will be made for changes in nasal structure or distortion.
