Official Title: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Tiral Comparing Sprinting Versus Non-sprinting Approach to Wean Nasal Continous Positive Airway Pressure Support in Premature Infants Born at Less Than 30 Weeks Ges
Brief Summary: Though Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) is a commonly used form of non-invasive neonatal respiratory support, the optimal method of weaning off NCPAP is not well established. In this prospective, two-center randomized control trial we hypothesize that gradually increasing time off NCPAP (sprinting) increases the success of weaning NCPAP off in infants born between 23 0/7-30 6/7 weeks of gestational age.
