Abstract：Objective To study the clinical effect of nasal bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation on treating apnea of prematurity .Methods Sixty-two premature infants with primary apnea were randomly divided into the control group and the study group , with 31 cases in each group .The control group was given nCPAP and the study group was given nBiPAP on the basis of the routine treatment .If the treatment was not effective in the two groups , en-dotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation were used .The remission rate of apnea , the hospitalization time , the total time of using oxygen , the rate of endotracheal intubation and the complications were compared between the two groups.Results The remission rate of apnea of prematurity in the study group (61.3%) was higher than that in the control group(35.5%).The rate of endotracheal intubation in the study group (9.7%) was lower than that in the control group(32.3%)(P<0.05).There were no signficant differences in the hospitalization time , the total time of using oxygen , pneumothorax , abdominal distention , nasal skin damage and intracranial hemorrhage between the two groups ( P>0.05 ) .Conclusion Nasal bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation is safe and effective on treating ap -nea of prematurity .
