Abstract A study of the safety of endotracheal tube exchange and its impact on pulmonary mechanics in preterm infants with chronic lung disease. This retrospective cohort study included 67 infants born at less than 29 weeks gestational age who underwent endotracheal (ETT) exchange after 28 days of life in a Level 4 NICU between 2017 and 2023.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common and challenging complication of preterm birth. Despite advances in the use of antenatal steroids, surfactant, and lung protective ventilation, rates of BPD are stable or even increasing [1]. Ongoing research into improving respiratory outcomes in preterm infants is essential. In this context, McEvoy et al. investigate whether extended CPAP (eCPAP) beyond respiratory stability enhances lung growth and reduces long-term respiratory issues.
