The purpose of this study is to implement a standardized protocol to initiate nasal
non-invasive ventilation with RAM nasal cannula (NIV/RAM-NC) with Trilogy mechanical
ventilator at Children Memorial Hospital inpatient and outpatient sites, as well as to
explore the side effects and complications associated with the use of NIV/RAM-NC in children.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Children admitted to the Children Memorial Hermann Hospital and consulted to Pediatric
Pulmonary Service for initiation of NIV/RAM-NC both at the inpatient and outpatient
sites.

- Children who fail to wean from chronic respiratory support (CPAP, BiPAP, HFNC) in whom
long-term ventilation is considered between 10/2016 - 10/2017 will be included.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Children with minimal setting (CPAP < 5cmH2O, HFNC < 3LPM) able to be weaned to
regular nasal cannula.

- Patients with upper airway obstruction that may be candidates for surgical procedure
will be excluded.
