The effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure and high flow nasal cannula on heart rate variability in extremely preterm infants after extubation: A randomized crossover trial

Abstract

During the first hours after extubation, no differences in HRV were detected between HFNC and NCPAP in the overall cohort. However, a significantly higher HRV was noted during HFNC in the subgroup of infants successfully extubated.
