NCPAP has been used increasingly to manage respiratory distress in newborns as well as apnea of prematurity. Humidified high flow nasal cannula devices (flows 1-8 lpm) have also been used in neonatal intensive care units.~This study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a pressure limited nasal cannula system instead of a high flow nasal cannula system in the management of premature babies with respiratory distress.
