Multiple noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) modalities are used for postextubation support in preterm neonates. Seven NRS modalities were compared-constant flow continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) (CF-CPAP) (bubble CPAP; ventilator CPAP), variable flow CPAP (VF-CPAP), high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), synchronized noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (S-NIPPV), nonsynchronized NIPPV (NS-NIPPV), bilevel CPAP (BiPAP), noninvasive high-frequency oscillation ventilation (nHFOV). Systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) using the Bayesian random-effects approach. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, WHO-ICTRP were searched. Requirement of invasive mechanical ventilation within 7 days of extubation. A total of 33 studies with 4080 preterm neonates were included. S-NIPPV, NS-NIPPV, nHFOV, and VF-CPAP were more efficacious in preventing reintubation than CF-CPAP (risk ratio [RR] [95% credible intervals {CrI}]: 0.22 [0.12, 0.35]; 0.44 [0.27, 0.67]; 0.42 [0.18, 0.81]; 0.73 [0.52, 0.99]). Surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) value ranked S-NIPPV to be the best postextubation intervention (SUCRA: 0.98). S-NIPPV was more effective than NS-NIPPV, BiPAP, VF-CPAP, and HFNC (RR [95% CrI]: 0.52 [0.24, 0.97]; 0.32 [0.14, 0.64]; 0.30 [0.16, 0.50]; 0.24 [0.12, 0.41]). NS-NIPPV resulted in lesser reintubation compared to VF-CPAP and HFNC (RR [95% CrI]: 0.61 [0.36, 0.97]; 0.49 [0.27, 0.80]). BiPAP, VF-CPAP, and HFNC had comparable efficacies. The overall quality of evidence was very low to moderate. Results of this NMA indicate that S-NIPPV might be the most effective and CF-CPAP the least effective NRS modality for preventing extubation failure.
