Background: Preterm infants are commonly supported with 5-8 cmH2O CPAP. However, animal studies demonstrate that high initial CPAP levels (12-15 cmH2O) which are then reduced (termed physiological based (PB)-CPAP), improve lung aeration without adversely affecting cardiovascular function. We investi...
