Conditions

Efficacy of heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) compared to synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (sNIPPV) as primary respiratory support in late preterm and term infants with respiratory distress requiring non-invasive ventilation within 24 hours after birth. Neonates, non-invasive ventilation, synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation, heated humidified high flow nasal cannula, primary respiratory support

Interventions

HHHFNC was delivered by OptiflowTM junior nasal high-flow system (Fisher &amp
Paykel Healthcare, Auckland, New Zealand), SLE6000 (Inspiration Healthcare Group, Croydon, United Kingdom), or fabian HFO ventilator (ZOLL Medical Corporation, Massachusetts, United States). The HHHFN
s condition. Flow rate was started at 8-10 L/min on the fabian ventilator but was automatically adjusted on the SLE6000 ventilator. FiO2 was set to keep peripheral oxygen saturation(SpO2) between 90%
