Abstract

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is a common and often fatal complication for preterm infants due to a surfactant deficiency and immature lung development. Bubble CPAP decreases extubation failure rates and ventilator dependence, enhances survival, and improves Silverman Andersen respiratory severity scores compared to alternative treatment methods.
