Abstract

The survival of extremely low birth weight infants has increased significantly due to improvement in both scientific knowledge and technology.Lung protective ventilatory strategies have been used for these infants in attempts to decrease lung injury severity and the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.The modalities of respiratory support will depend on the status of birth.It is important to apply these techniques correctly to achieve adequate gas exchange and avoid ventilatory injury.Non-invasive ventilatory support shows valuable as an initial intervention after birth and is an effective alternative to endotracheal intubation or mechanical ventilatory treatment. Key words: Extremely low birth weight infant; Respiratory support
