Respiratory support

Volvulus without malrotation Controls p-value
Duration of endotracheal mechanical ventilation until presentation/corresponding age (days) (median (range)) 7 (5–17) 7 (1–22) p = 0.80**
Nasal respiratory support (CPAP, NIPPV, nHFO-CPAP) at presentation/corresponding age (n/N) 5/5 25/25
nHFO-CPAP at presentation/corresponding age (n/N) 2/5 0/25 p = 0.023*
Max. Peep at day of presentation/corresponding age (median (range; IQR)) 6.5 (6–8; 6.2-7.6) 6 (4–8; 5.9-6.3) p = 0.078**

**: Wilcoxon test; *: Fisher`s exact test, two tailed; CPAP: continuous positive airway pressure; NIPPV: nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation; nHFO-CPAP: nasal high-frequency-oscillation-CPAP.

IQR: Interquartile range.
