Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to establish if a strategy of EBCPAP application in a subgroup of VLBWI 800 to 1500g birthweight decreases the need for mechanical ventilation in this group without affecting mortality
Detailed Description: The application of CPAP has been described as an alternative respiratory support for premature newborns with respiratory distressMany studies support that the early use of CPAP results in a better respiratory evolution and less need for mechanical ventilation

Hypothesis

- The hypothesis is that EBCPAP will decrease the need for this more invasive therapy

The primary endpoint in this multicenter controlled study is to establish if an strategy of EBCPAP application in a subgroup of VLBWI 800 to 1500g birthweight decreases the need for mechanical ventilation in this group without affecting mortality

As secondary outcome the investigators will analyse days of oxygen therapy days of mechanical ventilation need for surfactant pulmonary airleak intraventricular hemorrhage persistent ductus arteriosus retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia BPD at 28 days and 36 weeks corrected gestational age
