Excited our recent paper shows that Extending the time on CPAP in preterm infants increases lung growth and development, giving tiny lungs a big chance to thrive. 🫁👶

Extended Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Preterm Infants Increases Lung Growth at 6 Months: A Randomized Controlled Trial | American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine | Articles in Press Rationale: Extended continuous positive airway pressure (eCPAP) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for stable preterm infants increases lung volumes. Its effect on lung growth after dischar...
