The nasopharyngeal tube (NT) is an effective interface for noninvasive ventilation (NIV). In cases of severe heart failure, assistance with noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) effectively reduces afterload and alleviates respiratory effort. We present the case of a three-day-old male ne...
