Predictors of Success Rate in Different Initial Respiratory Supports in Very Low Birthweight Infants with Respiratory Distress.

CONCLUSION: The neonatal clinical condition may be a predictor of success for initial respiratory support at birth. Since the arterial duct may be open during the first hours of life, more study is needed to verify if early closure of the arterial duct may help increase the success rate of non-invasive respiratory support.
