- Abstract
A study published in Acta Paediatrica compared the use of facemasks and binasal prongs as respiratory interfaces for preterm infants receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The study found that facemasks resulted in significant fluctuations in CPAP pressure, potentially due to mask leaks and poor positioning. The variability in pressure levels was higher with facemasks compared to binasal prongs. The study suggests that further research is needed to understand the impact of different facemask applications and to determine the optimal respiratory interface for neonatal care.
