AB  - Despite  its  clear  association  with  lung  injury,  mechanical  ventilation  (MV)  continues  to  be  widely  practiced  in  many  neonatal  intensive  care  units  (NICUs).  Recent  data  suggest  that  trauma  to  the  respiratory  system  can  be  avoided  by  gentle  respiratory  support  initiated  soon  after  birth.  Accordingly,  in  the  past  decade  there  has  been  increasing  interest  in  using  noninvasive  respiratory  support  with  nasal  continuous  positive  airway  pressure  (CPAP)  or  nasal  intermittent  positive  pressure  ventilation  (NIPPV)  for  managing  respiratory  failure  in  infants,  with  the  focus  to  reduce  the  use  of  MV  and  protect  the  lung.  Nasal  CPAP  therapy  has  been  the  mainstay  of  noninvasive  respiratory  support.  However,  the  literature  reflects  conflicting  results  on  the  effectiveness  of  nasal  CPAP  in  infants  with  respiratory  failure  because  of  inconsistencies  in  the  guidelines  for  CPAP  therapy,  use  of  different  devices  and  ventilator  modes,  and  variations  in  training  and  levels  of  experience  with  nasal  CPAP  use.  Little  attention  is  paid  to  the  best  ways  of  practicing  nasal  CPAP  therapy.
