Abstract
We report the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) for neonatal back transfer of 51 babies. nCPAP may be used to provide safe respiratory support during back transportation of infants. Babies transferred on nCPAP were significantly smaller and of younger postmenstrual age than historical comparators who had to wait for transfer until independent of nCPAP. nCPAP transferred babies spent significantly less time on the intensive care unit.
