The hypothesis behind the study is that the performance of constant flow CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) devices (CF-CPAP) is not inferior to that of variable flow CPAP devices (VF-CPAP) in terms of respiratory efforts assessed by swing EAdi (Electrical activity of diaphragm) in a population of premature neonates born ≤ 32 weeks of gestational age.
