The best peak inspiratory pressures to choose during NIPPV remains unknown. In this pilot study, we evaluated the pressure transmission to the posterior pharynx (back of throat) and nasal interface as well as electrical diaphragmatic activity (marker of work diaphragm has to do to breathe) in a small group of preterm neonates who were placed on 3 different NIPPV peak pressures.
