Effects of Two Modalities of Non-invasive Ventilation After Extubation in Very Low Birth Weight Neonates

"\- NIPPV The following parameters: inspiratory pressure = 15 cmH2O / final expiratory positive pressure = 6 cmH2O / inspiratory time = 0.40 / flow = 6-8 L.min-1 / respiratory rate = 24.~Respiratory inductive plethysmography is used to evaluate breathing pattern (tidal volume, respiratory rate, minute ventilation, mean inspiratory flow) and chest wall motion (labor breathing index - LBI, phase relation in inspiratory breathing - PhRIB, phase relation in expiratory breathing - PhREB, total phase relation - PhRTB and phase angle)."

"\- CPAP The following parameters: pressure of 6 cmH2O, with flow of 6-8L/min.~Respiratory inductive plethysmography is used to evaluate breathing pattern (tidal volume, respiratory rate, minute ventilation, mean inspiratory flow) and chest wall motion (labor breathing index - LBI, phase relation in inspiratory breathing - PhRIB, phase relation in expiratory breathing - PhREB, total phase relation - PhRTB and phase angle)."
