Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  RAM cannula  In the experimental group, RAM cannula will be used a nasal interface in a stand-alone Bubble CPAP device (Bubble CPAP system with F & P nasal interface—BC 163, Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, Panmure, Auckland, New Zealand). For infants on RAM cannula, cannula size was chosen which best fits the nares and fills nearly 80% of nares. Cannulaide of appropriate size or tegaderm dressing will be used to prevent any possible leak around the nares with RAM cannula. 
Comparator Agent  Short Binasal Prongs  : In the standard group, short binasal prongs (Fisher and Paykel Healthcare) will be used a nasal interface in a stand-alone Bubble CPAP device (Bubble CPAP system with F & P nasal interface—BC 163, Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, Panmure, Auckland, New Zealand). 
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  0.00 Day(s)
Age To  28.00 Day(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  1) Inborn babies with gestational age between
28weeks to 34weeks and birth weight more than or
equal to 1000 g.
2) The presence of respiratory distress (presence of at least two out of three signs: tachypnoea > 60 per minute, intercostal retractions and
expiratory grunt) within 6h of life requiring
nasal CPAP.
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1) Intubation soon after birth
2) APGAR score ≤3
3) Life threatening malformations such as
congenital diaphragmatic hernia, trachea-
oesophageal fistula, and malformations that
would prevent establishment of CPAP due to the
anatomical defect such as Pierre- Robinson
syndrome and choanal atresia.
4) Conditions where intubation and mechanical
ventilation are directly indicated such as
apnea and hypotensive shock.

Brief Summary   This study is a open labelled, two parallel arm, randomized controlled trail comparing two different nasal interfaces for non-invasive ventilation support in preterm infants with respiratory distress in a tertiary care hospital. The primary outcome measure will be failure of CPAP(Continuous positive airway pressure) within 72 hours of life. The secondary outcomes were: failure of CPAP by 7 days of age, proportion of infants who received post-randomization surfactant, total duration of CPAP, incidence of death during hospital stay, pnemothorax, blood culture positive sepsis (systemic evidence of infection along with a positive blood culture), Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (need for supplemental oxygen at 36 weeks postmenstrual age), intraventricular
hemorrhage (grade 2 and above), periventricular leucomalacia (any grade),  and necrotizing enterocolitis (stages 2 and 3).
