2021, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :We employed a low NCPAP pressure in our weaning strategy, which is similar to that used by Amatya et al.17 NCPAP pressures of 3-4 cm H2O have been shown to improve functional residual capacity, increase inspiratory effort, and decrease supraglottic resistance and episodes of obstructive apnea.5,38-41 Moreover, 3 cm H2O of NCPAP pressure also decreases thoracoabdominal asynchrony and work of breathing, aiding in overcoming a high respiratory load.40-42 We believe that a gradual wean to 3 cm H2O may also condition the respiratory muscles and aid in the successful transition off NCPAP.
Mechanistic actions of oxygen and methylxanthines on respiratory neural control and for the treatment of neonatal apnea
2020, Respiratory Physiology and NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :In preterm infants this reflex decreases with postnatal age (Stocks et al., 1996) and they exhibit fewer myelinated vagus nerve fibers than term infants (Sachis et al., 1982). In some preterm infants, the Hering-Breuer reflex was reduced while on CPAP compared to while off CPAP (Martin et al., 1977). Interestingly, aminophylline increased the strength of Hering-Breuer reflex suggesting increased inhibitory inputs (Gerhardt et al., 1983).

2017, Pediatrics and NeonatologyCitation Excerpt :It also reduces intrapulmonary shunt12 and increases lung compliance, which in turn improves gas exchange.13 This helps to stabilize the breathing pattern in preterm neonates.14 NCPAP also reduces obstructive apnea15 and decreases airway resistance.16
