New research by Dr. Brigitte Lemyre may change approach for helping some premature infants breathe
August 30, 2013
New research co-authored by Dr. Brigitte Lemyre may change the approach for helping some premature infants breathe. The research, published in the
New England Journal of Medicine
, showed that two forms of non-invasive respiratory support (one involving intermittent pressure or NIPPV and one involving continuous pressure or nCPAP) were equally effective. These results may lead to a decrease in the use of the intermittent method, which can be more complicated and expensive due to the equipment required. Dr. Lemyre and her team helped make OHRI / CHEO RI one of the lead sites for this major international study.
