Infants in Group A were cycled between NCPAP and nasal prongs. For the first 12 hours, infants received 10 hours of NCPAP and 2 hours of 1 litre per minute of nasal prongs (NP). For the next 12 hours, infants received 8 hours of NCPAP and 4 hours of NP. In the subsequent 24 hours, infants alternated between 6 hours of NCPAP and 6 hours of NP. In the last 24 hours of intervention they alternated between 4 hours of NCPAP and 8 hours of NP.

Infants randomized to group B received continuous NCPAP at a CPAP distending pressure of 4 cm of water for 72 hours. Both the groups after 72 hours of intervention were weaned to 1litre per minute NP. During the intervention period all infants were scored using the ACoRN respiratory score on a 12 hourly basis.

E-23596 - Use of NCPAP Cycling to Wean Preterm Infants

Randomised Controlled Trial to Study the Effect of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) Cycling on Successful Weaning When Compared With Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) in Premature Infants of 25-28 Weeks Gestation

Primary outcome was successful weaning off NCPAP at the end of 72 hours of the intervention and remained off NCPAP for the next 72 hours
