Participant Flow
We enrolled 280 VLBW infants with RDS, delivered before 32 weeks of gestational age and with a birth weight \<1500 gr, admitted in two NICUs (C. Arrigo, Children's Hospital, Alessandria, Italy and V. Buzzi, Children's Hospital, Milan, Italy) from January 2010 to December 2012.
156 Newborns were excluded from the study: 19 had exclusion criteria, 40 not requiring ventilation support, 35 requiring invasive ventilation, 62 not randomized within 2 hours from birth. 124 newborns needed NIV within 2-h from birth, were randomly allocated to receive either NSIPPV (n=62) or BiPAP (n=62).

NSIPPV Group
The NSIPPV is a conventional modality of mechanical ventilation delivered by the nasal ventilator device Giulia (Ginevri, Rome, Italy), that in noninvasive modality detects the inspiratory effort by means of a pneumotachograph, equipped with a fixed orifice (2 mm in diameter), positioned proximally to the nasal interface. Short bi-nasal prongs (NIV set, Ginevri, Rome, Italy), with different size according to infants'weight, will be used as interface.
NSIPPV: In N-SIPPV, the physician will set : an initial PEEP of 4-6 cmH20; a peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of 15-20 cmH2O ; an inspiratory time (IT) of 0.3-0.4 seconds; a flow rate of 6-10 L/min and a respiratory rate (RR) of 40 bpm with the lowest FiO2 to maintain a oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 88-93%. Weaning from N-SIPPV will be performed with a reduction of the RR to 15 bpm with a PIP of 10-15 cmH2O and PEEP of 4 cmH2O and will be stopped when the baby will not show signs of RDS and with a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)\< 0.3.
|
BiPAP Group
The BiPAP is a modality of noninvasive respiratory support that provides two alternate different levels of CPAP in which the babies can breath spontaneously. The BiPAP will be delivered by the Infant Flow-driver device (Infant Flow System, Vyasis Corp,Yorba Linda, California (CA),USA) and bi-nasal prongs as interface (Vyasis Corp,Yorba Linda, CA,USA) with different size according to infants' weight.
BiPAP: In BiPAP, the physician will set : an initial low CPAP-level of 4-6 cmH20 and high CPAP-level of 8-9 cmH20; a time high of 1 second and a pressure exchange rate of 20 bpm, with the lowest FiO2 to maintain a SpO2 of 88-93%. Weaning will start with a progressive reduction of the set pressure exchange rate ( minimum 15 pressures exchange/min), followed by the reduction of the higher level-CPAP down to 6 cmH20 and lower level-CPAP down to 4 cmH20. BiPAP will be stopped when the baby will not show signs of RDS and with a FiO2 \< 0.3.

NSIPPV Group
n=62 Participants
The NSIPPV is a conventional modality of mechanical ventilation delivered by the nasal ventilator device Giulia (Ginevri, Rome, Italy), that in noninvasive modality detects the inspiratory effort by means of a pneumotachograph, equipped with a fixed orifice (2 mm in diameter), positioned proximally to the nasal interface. Short bi-nasal prongs (NIV set, Ginevri, Rome, Italy), with different size according to infants'weight, will be used as interface.
NSIPPV: In N-SIPPV, the physician will set : an initial PEEP of 4-6 cmH20; a peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of 15-20 cmH2O ; an inspiratory time (IT) of 0.3-0.4 seconds; a flow rate of 6-10 L/min and a respiratory rate (RR) of 40 bpm with the lowest FiO2 to maintain a oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 88-93%. Weaning from N-SIPPV will be performed with a reduction of the RR to 15 bpm with a PIP of 10-15 cmH2O and PEEP of 4 cmH2O and will be stopped when the baby will not show signs of RDS and with a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)\< 0.3.

BiPAP Group
n=60 Participants
The BiPAP is a modality of noninvasive respiratory support that provides two alternate different levels of CPAP in which the babies can breath spontaneously. The BiPAP will be delivered by the Infant Flow-driver device (Infant Flow System, Vyasis Corp,Yorba Linda, California (CA),USA) and bi-nasal prongs as interface (Vyasis Corp,Yorba Linda, CA,USA) with different size according to infants' weight.
BiPAP: In BiPAP, the physician will set : an initial low CPAP-level of 4-6 cmH20 and high CPAP-level of 8-9 cmH20; a time high of 1 second and a pressure exchange rate of 20 bpm, with the lowest FiO2 to maintain a SpO2 of 88-93%. Weaning will start with a progressive reduction of the set pressure exchange rate ( minimum 15 pressures exchange/min), followed by the reduction of the higher level-CPAP down to 6 cmH20 and lower level-CPAP down to 4 cmH20. BiPAP will be stopped when the baby will not show signs of RDS and with a FiO2 \< 0.3.
