Non-invasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist Versus Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation for Preterm Infants After Extubation

"Enrolled infants will receive Surfactant and loading dose of Caffeine citrate prior to extubation. The criteria for extubation will be as per attending decision.~The device is used Servo-I ventilator (MAQUET). FiO 2 % is adjusted to maintain oxygen saturation between 90-94% on pulse oximetry. The flow rate is 8-10 L/min. NAVA electrodes will be inserted within nasogastric catheter \& positioned at the level of diaphragm.Vital signs and ventilatory parameters are monitored hourly. Blood gases will be measured before and one hour after extubation"
