Non-invasive CPAP Support

At Neowise Children's Hospital, we provide specialized Non-invasive CPAP Support for newborns experiencing respiratory distress or difficulty breathing. This non-invasive therapy is designed to assist babies who require respiratory support but do not need continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Our expert neonatology team ensures that your baby receives the right care, tailored to their specific needs, using the latest technologies.

What is Non-Invasive CPAP Support?

Non-CPAP Support refers to a range of respiratory interventions that do not involve CPAP machines, which are typically used for more severe cases of respiratory distress. Non-Invasive CPAP methods include:

• Nasal Cannula Therapy: A gentle delivery of oxygen through small prongs placed in the baby’s nostrils.
• Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HHHFNC): A more advanced method for babies with mild to moderate respiratory distress, delivering oxygen-rich air that is both heated and humidified to ensure comfort.
• Supplemental Oxygen: Administered through various devices to improve oxygen levels in babies who need mild respiratory assistance.

When is Non-Invasive CPAP Support Used?

Non-CPAP Support is commonly used in newborns with:

• Mild Respiratory Distress: Babies who show signs of difficulty breathing but do not require CPAP or mechanical ventilation.
• Premature Birth: Babies born prematurely who may have immature lungs but do not need invasive support.
• Post-Surgery Recovery: Infants recovering from neonatal surgery who need temporary respiratory assistance.
• Mild Apnea of Prematurity: Infants who experience pauses in breathing but do not require intensive interventions like CPAP.

How Does Non-Invasive CPAP Support Work?

Non-Invasive CPAP Support works by providing additional oxygen or air to help your baby breathe more easily, without the use of a CPAP machine. The primary methods include:

• Oxygen Therapy: Mild oxygen support through a nasal cannula, ensuring your baby receives the right amount of oxygen to support healthy breathing.
• Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HHHFNC): Oxygen is delivered through a nasal cannula, with the air being heated and humidified for added comfort and to prevent irritation to the baby’s delicate airways.
• Gentle Ventilatory Support: In cases of mild apnea or respiratory distress, using minimal pressure to help with the baby's breathing efforts.
