Brief Summary: Background Preterm infants often need respiratory support HFNV is a non-invasive method with benefits over CPAP such as reduced nasal trauma and improved feeding

Aim Study the impact of low 2 LPM vs high 6 LPM HFNV flow rates on CO2 levels in preterm infants

Methods Design Prospective crossover observational study Participants Preterm newborns 24-336 weeks gestation on HFNV Procedure Randomized flow rate adjustments monitoring tcCO2 and other respiratory parameters over three hours

Outcomes Primary Change in tcCO2 Secondary Study terminations due to unsafe CO2 levels and changes in other respiratory metrics

Statistical Analysis Sample size 45 infants Analysis Paired and unpaired t-tests for comparison within and between groups
Detailed Description: Background

Preterm Births About 10 of births are preterm with infants at risk for respiratory distress

Respiratory Support Endotracheal ventilation has improved survival but increased the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Non-Invasive Support Nasal CPAP minimizes complications Heated humidified high-flow nasal ventilation HFNV is an alternative providing advantages like reduced nasal trauma and improved oral feeding

Aim

Primary Goal Examine changes in transcutaneous CO2 tcCO2 levels in preterm infants when using HFNV at low 2 LPM versus high 6 LPM flow rates

Hypothesis Different HFNV flow rates will show minimal change in tcCO2 5 mmHg

Methods

Design Prospective crossover observational study in Rambam NICU Participants Preterm newborns 24-336 weeks gestation needing HFNV Inclusion Criteria Stabilized HFNP settings and tcCO2 parental consent Exclusion Criteria Specific flow and CO2 levels unstable conditions or congenital malformations

Procedure Randomize infants into two groups starting with 2 or 6 LPM flow rates monitoring tcCO2 over three consecutive hours with alternating flow rates

Measurements

Primary Outcome Change in tcCO2 levels Secondary Outcomes Number of study terminations due to pCO2TcCO2 out of safety range changes in respiratory parameters and episodes of desaturation or bradycardia

Statistical Analysis

Sample Size 45 infants needed to detect no difference with 90 power and 5 significance level

Data Analysis Use paired and unpaired Students t-tests to compare results within and between groups

Safety Protocol The study will terminate if significant desaturation bradycardia or pCO2 levels outside the safety range occur
