Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and noninvasive ventilation?(NIV) hold much promise as means to protect?the lungs of newborn infants who have respiratory distress from many causes. A wide variety of options are available to the clinician, including CPAP, bilevel CPAP, and both synchronized and unsynchronized?noninvasive mechanical breaths.
