Purpose:
A guideline for the management of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation using the Avea ventilator. It provides suggested initial settings, maximum tolerable settings, blood gas criteria, and suggested approaches to weaning and transitioning to other forms of noninvasive support.
The guideline also provides suggested criteria for failure of extubation and indications for reintubation.
It was developed with evidence-based principles, multi-disciplinary collaboration, and individualized and family-centered approaches to caring for the neonate.
Population:
Infants born < 28wks EGA at birth
