Although both BiPAP and SIMV achieved good early treatment outcomes of RDS in preterm infants, BiPAP support is recommended for reducing the incidence of pulmonary hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and IVH (≥grade II) if infants are tolerant. Attempts should be made to prevent these complications from happening with the use of SIMV support if infants are intolerant.
