Abstract

Background: Neonatal pneumothorax is dependent on severity of symptoms and leak size. Treatment of Pneumothorax with Nitrogen washout is controversial.

Objective: To compare outcomes of neonates treated for spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) compared with those managed expectantly.

Methods: A retrospective review of medical records of neonates (≥34weeks) diagnosed with SP born between 2011 and 2021. Neonatal characteristics and outcomes were compared between neonates treated for SP with either targeted oxygen therapy (to stabilize saturation ≥93%) or nitrogen washout and those under expectant management.

Results: Among neonates with respiratory distress and desaturation (n = 64), nitrogen washout reduced median time to resolution compared to targeted oxygen therapy (31 [12-67] vs 81 [31.8-123.5] hours, p = 0.012). Expectantly managed neonates with distress (n = 87) experienced delayed feeding initiation, while time to resolution and hospital stay were similar.

Conclusion: Nitrogen washout is superior to targeted oxygen therapy in time to resolution in infants presenting with respiratory distress and desaturation.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development. The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
