Zusammenfassung:	40 preterm, ventilated infants (gestational ages 24–33 weeks) were entered into a double-blind randomised trial to assess the effect of oral theophylline on lung function and ventilator dependence. Theophylline administration was associated with a significant improvement in compliance (P < 0.05) and hastened weaning from ventilation (P < 0.01).
