In 316 preterm infants, 72-hour NIPPV failure occurred in 27/158 with a long, narrow cannula versus 23/158 with short binasal prongs. The 95% CI crossed the 10-point noninferiority margin by 0.56 points, while any nasal trauma fell from 44.9% to 12.0%. Gentler is credible; equivalent efficacy is not established.
