The prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Is there synergy between early nasal cpap and surfactant?

Extremely preterm babies still develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) however, evidence is accumulating that the use of early nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) may reduce the risk. This article explores whether combining early nCPAP with surfactant could reduce the risk of BPD still further by drawing on the research evidence base and personal clinical practice.
