Text: Arterial carbon dioxide tension was significantly decreased after 1 h of ventilation (CPAP, 60. 5 + / -13. 6 to 42. 8 + / -4. 9 mmHg ; NIPSV, 65. 7 + / -13. 6 to 44. 0 + / -5. 5 mmHg) ; respective improvements were seen in pH (CPAP, 7. 22 + / -0. 11 to 7. 37 + / -0. 04 ; NIPSV, 7. 19 + / -0. 11 to 7. 38 + / -0. 04), SpO (2) (CPAP, 86. 9 + / -3. 7 % to 95. 1 + / -2. 6 % ; NIPSV, 83. 7 + / -6. 6 % to 96. 0 + / -2. 9 %), and respiratory rate (CPAP, 37. 9 + / -4. 5 to 21. 3 + / -5. 1 breaths/min ; NIPSV, 39. 8 + / -4. 4 to 21. 2 + / -4. 6 breaths/min).
