Key information

About this study

Less invasive respiratory management has been implemented in most neonatal units as well as lung protective ventilatory strategies when intubation is required in order to minimize ventilator induced lung injury.

In our institution a new ventilatory protocol including less invasive surfactant administration, Synchronized nasal positive pressure ventilation and early rescue High frequency ventilation has been implemented during 2013-14.

Hypothesis: New less invasive and lung protective strategies to prevent lung injury had been effective in reducing intubation rates.
