About this trial
This study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a pressure limited nasal cannula system instead of a high flow nasal cannula system in the management of premature babies with respiratory distress.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Duration of Oxygen Use
The length of time the patient is on oxygen will be measured in hours.
Secondary outcomes
Oxygen Concentration
ADINA will provide a concentration of oxygen between 1.5 and 4 liters which is equivalent to that provided by the conventional nasal cannula. This will be measured every twelve hours by NICU staff.
Number of Participants with treatment-related pneumothorax
Participants will be monitored for pneumothorax occurrence while on ADINA and/or high flow nasal cannula. The incidence of pneumothorax occurrence in each Arm will be collected for comparison.
Number of Participants with Excoriation at Nasal Site
Participants will be monitored for excoriation at the nasal site while on ADINA and/or high flow nasal cannula. The incidence of excoriation at the nasal site in each Arm will be collected for comparison.
