Synopsis:Ventilation of neonates was initially unsuccessful and led to the development of non-invasive strategies in the 1970s. Over the past decade, nasal CPAP has had resurgence and more recently high flow nasal cannulae have become very popular. The evidence for both forms of respiratory support will be reviewed with particular emphasis on the Melbourne contribution.
