Abstract
Adjuvant respiratory therapies in preterm neonates aim to reduce long-term morbidities and mortality. Commonly utilized therapies include caffeine, systemic glucocorticosteroids, inhaled steroids, inhaled bronchodilators, and diuretics. This review discusses the available literature that supports some of these practices and points out where clinical practices are not corroborated by evidence. Therapies with no proven clinical benefit must be weighed against potential adverse effects.Entities:
