Abstract

Respiratory distress is a frequent problem in preterm and full term neonates. Even though invasive ventilation is necessary in certain situations, adequate knowledge and experienced use of non-invasive ventilation may be sufficient for a large group of neonates.

In this review article, we discuss the recent scope on non-invasive ventilation in late-preterm neonates and propose guidelines on the respiratory support of preterm neonates from 32 weeks of gestation on, not necessarily needing admission to a neonatal intensive care unit.
