Abstract: 　Objectives 　To present the current condition of non-invasive ventilation in newborns in the last five years in China, to describe the probable research trends of this field, and to provide the possible research directions in future. Methods Using co-word analysis, the keywords “neonate” and “non-invasive ventilation” were searched in the CNKI database. The search results included 457 articles. Then the relation matrix was built by Excel 2010. Finally the visualized network was drawn by Ucinet 6.3. Results　Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is primarily for the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) in China. Meanwhile, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV) and bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) are gradually applied in clinic. The application scope of non-invasive ventilation is expanding. Besides the neonatologists, nurses are also paying close attention to non-invasive ventilation. Conclusions 　The visualized network, successfully built by Netdraw, reflects the hot topics and current condition in this field.
