Fraction of Inspired Oxygen as a Predictor of CPAP Failure in Preterm Infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Prospective Multicenter Study.

Nonresponders to CPAP have a remarkably higher incidence of complications and a higher mortality rate. PMID: 31112987 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
