Does a brief trial of endotracheal CPAP before extubation increase the work of breathing in preterm infants?

A brief period of endotracheal continuous positive airway pressure (ETT-CPAP) can predict extubation outcome but longer periods are associated with increased work of breathing and extubation failure. In ventilated preterm infants, brief ETT-CPAP does not increase the work of breathing and can be use...

Summary:A brief period of endotracheal continuous positive airway pressure (ETT-CPAP) can predict extubation outcome but longer periods are associated with increased work of breathing and extubation failure. In ventilated preterm infants, brief ETT-CPAP does not increase the work of breathing and can be used to predict the outcome of extubation. •A brief period of endotracheal continuous positive airway pressure (ETT-CPAP) can predict extubation outcome in preterms.•ETT-CPAP could potentially increase the work of breathing.•ETT-CPAP before extubation does not increase the work of breathing compared to low rate synchronised mechanical ventilation.
