Randomized Control Trial of Weaning NCPAP From Preterm Infants: Sudden Wean Versus Weaning by Gradually Decreasing Pressure
To compare the 2 methods of weaning of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in
premature babies born between 26 and 32 weeks
premature babies born between 26 and 32 weeks
To study the weight and the post menstrual age (PMA) at the time of NCPAP wean utilizing the
method of sudden wean as compared to gradual wean.
Methods: A prospective randomized trial was conducted comparing sudden weaning with gradual
weaning from NCPAP in neonates with gestational age between 26 and 32 weeks. The patients
were randomized to one of the two methods of weaning from NCPAP and their success was
compared
