Short binasal prong devices are more effective than single prong devices in reducing the rate of reintubation. Although the Infant Flow Driver appears to be more effective than Medicorp prongs, the most effective binasal prong device remains to be determined. Short binasal prongs are more effective than nasopharyngeal continuous positive airway pressure in the treatment of early respiratory distress syndrome.
