In this pair of projects – all relevant published medical literature is being systematically reviewed and analysed to help summarize the best non-invasive mode in preterm neonates for

1. Primary support for Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)

2. Post-extubation support 

​

Seven different non-invasive modes (including High CPAP) are being compared against one another using network meta-analyses methodology. These studies will help identify best practices based on currently available evidence, while also identifying priorities for future research.
