The article informs that early extubation of ventilated extremely preterm infants to non-invasive respiratory support is recommended to minimize lung injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. It mentions that biphasic positive airway pressure prevented the reintubation of extremely preterm infants more effectively than continuous positive airway pressure.
