Continuous positive airway pressure
After study entry, CPAP will be provided via mask or binasal prongs in order to have a relatively uniform CPAP delivery system among infants in the treatment group. Bubble CPAP will be preferred over other modes of CPAP delivery. A PEEP of 5 will be used for uniformity.
Nasal Cannula
After study entry, flow will be set to 0.5 L/kg with 1L maximum while on NC during the study period to reduce the risk of inadvertent PEEP with higher flows. Initial FiO2 can be titrated to achieve target saturations, and may be increased up to 100% while on NC.
