Despite the large body of information regarding the beneficial effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) data are insufficient at this time to support or refute its use during neonatal resuscitation. An individualized approach to infants with respiratory distress is recommended.
