Delayed Extubation to Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in the Immature Baboon Model of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: Lung Clinical and Pathological Findings

Abstract

Volutrauma and/or low-grade colonization of airways secondary to increased reintubations and ventilation times are speculated to play causative roles in the delayed nasal continuous positive airway pressure group findings.
