Abstract

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the form of heated humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) or nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is widely used in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). We aimed to evaluate the impact of HHHFNC and nCPAP on cardiac, cerebral, and mesenteric hemodynamics. METHODS: One hundred twenty-three hemodynamically stable, low birth weight preterm neonates
