Background: Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) has been the mainstay for non-invasive respiratory support for at risk neonates. Recent advances in High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) usage including enhanced humidity and improved comfort factors have led to its widespread use, at times replacing NCPAP in many neonatal settings. Although ease of application cannot be matched by traditional CPAP devices, concerns about appropriate delivery of volume at a given pressure must be validated given that HFNC rarely exceeds 4 LPM. However, the NCPAP apparatus is often set at 8 …
