Studies show that there are more benefits with weaning nCPAP by decreasing pressure than having alternating "time-on and time-off" nCPAP. We wean by lowering the pressure gradually, in the preterm to as low as 2cm H20. I know that many use 4cm H20 as a lower limit. The argument for this is that the pressure measured in the pharynx is close to zero when CPAP is set lower than 4 cm H20 (thus believed to not have any positive effects). Still, we see many babies that benefit from low pressure CPAP (2-3). Do you know any studies that show negative effects using low pressures? (Theoretically, it could give increased breathing effort without any significant CPAP e…

hi In our service we are reviewing the indications for percutaneous venous catheter placement. Now, we are only using them for parenteral nutrition, but we are looking for information for use in case we need prolonged treatments (more than 4-5 days ,eg 10 days antibiotics).
