How Different Levels of CPAP Affect Oxygen Delivery and Lung Expansion in Preterm Infants
Sponsor: University of Arkansas
Summary
With this study, it is expected to learn more about preterm babies on breathing support with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). To gain more information on how much oxygen is actually delivered to the baby from the nCPAP machine.

Interventions
Effective oxygen delivery and lung expansion measurement
This intervention arm will involve any infant who is already on nCPAP. It will involve placing a catheter in the infant's oropharynx and wrapping soft EIT bands around the infants chest to measure effective oxygen delivery and lung expansion, respectively.
