Baseline HbO2, HbTot and HbO2/HbTot values were initially collected with NCPAP at 5 cm H2O and then compared with values obtained with NCPAP levels at both 3 and 8 cm H2O.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Compared with 5 cm H2O, cerebral HbO2, HbTot and HbO2/HbTot remained unchanged both after increasing (to 8 cm H2O) and decreasing (to 3 cm H2O) the NCPAP level. This result was observed both in regional areas (24 sites) and in the overall monitored area (frontal and parietal cortex). Compared with 8 cm H2O, peripheral oxygen saturation significantly decreased at 3 cm H2O (p=0.021). Heart rate did not change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;No differences in CBF and cerebral oxygenation were observed with NCPAP levels in the range 3-8 cm H2O despite a decrease in peripheral oxygenation with 3 cm H2O.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25336677?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
