Pneumothorax · preterm infants requiring primary respiratory support
Nasal high flow showed no clear difference in pneumothorax (during assigned treatment) compared with continuous positive airway pressure (moderate certainty).
1 finding from 1 review
Nasal trauma (during assigned treatment) · preterm infants requiring primary respiratory support
Nasal high flow probably leads to lower nasal trauma (during assigned treatment) compared with continuous positive airway pressure (moderate certainty).
