Official Title: Noninvasive NAVA Versus NIPPV in Low Birthweight Premature Infants
Brief Summary: The investigator hypothesizes that in very low birth weight infants who require respiratory support via noninvasive ventilation, that synchronizing the ventilator breath with the baby's breath using neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) will reduce the number and/or severity of apnea/bradycardia/desaturation episodes compared to nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV).
