Noninvasive High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation Versus Nasal Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation for Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Neonates

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if nasal high frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) works no worse than nasal intermittent mandatory ventilation (NIMV) as early breathing support. The study will include preterm babies born from 28 weeks through 36 weeks of gestation..All babies will have respiratory distress syndrome and need noninvasive breathing support within six hours of birth. Noninvasive support helps breathing through a nasal interface without placing a tube in the windpipe. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does nHFOV work no worse than NIMV in preventing the need for a breathing tube within 72 hours? What medical problems occur in babies receiving each type of breathing support? Researchers will compare nHFOV with NIMV. nHFOV uses rapid, small pressure waves. NIMV provides regular supported breaths. Both methods are routinely used at the study hospital. Babies will: Be assigned by chance to receive either nHFOV or NIMV Receive regular monitoring of breathing, oxygen levels, and medical condition Be assessed for the need for a breathing tube during the first 72 hours Be followed for complications of disease and assigned treatment during hospitalization and after discharge when required The study will also record breathing support duration, hospital stay, survival, chronic lung disease, severe bleeding in the brain, and eye disease related to prematurity. The findings may help doctors choose breathing support for preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome.
