    Respiratory distress syndrome is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants, especially those born before 30 weeks' gestation.

  • 2

    Current guidelines recommend nasal continuous positive airway pressure combined with less-invasive surfactant administration to avoid invasive mechanical ventilation.

  • 3

    Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation has shown potential benefits in reducing treatment failure but carries risks of abdominal distention and gastrointestinal issues.

  • 4

    A multicenter trial comparing NCPAP and NIPPV was halted early due to conclusive evidence of NCPAP's inferiority in respiratory outcomes.

  • 5

    The trial involved 312 infants and aimed to evaluate NCPAP and NIPPV as primary respiratory support in preterm infants with spontaneous breathing.
