To evaluate how different forms of respiratory support affect parent interaction, how parents feel about different methods of support, and how their child's current respiratory support level is perceived in the setting of long-term outcomes.
The information gathered in this study is relevant to all NICU families of children who need respiratory support as the investigators will assess parent perceptions of different devices, namely the OptiPAP Junior, as well as aspects of respiratory support to share with the broader NICU community and change how NICU providers talk about these devices and lung outcomes with parents.
