Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of T-piece resuscitator (TPR) and self-inflating bag (SIB) for resuscitation of preterm neonates in the delivery room.
Settings: Level III neonatal intensive care unit in North India.
Patient: Preterm neonates of>26-34 weeks of gestation requiring positive pressure ventilation (PPV) at birth.
Intervention: Neonates needing PPV at birth were identified using Neonatal Resuscitation Programme guidelines, 2020, and resuscitated using either TPR or SIB as per permuted block random sequence.
Main outcome measures: Primary outcome was need for delivery room endotracheal intubation. Secondary outcomes were duration of PPV, oxygen saturation (SpO2) at 2 and 5 min, time to spontaneous respiration and heart rate>100 beats per minute.
Results: Mean gestation age (weeks; 30±2.1 vs 31±2) and birth weight (g; 1400±408 vs 1450±427) were comparable. Of the total 120, 8 (13.7%) in the TPR group versus 19 (30.6%) neonates in the SIB group were intubated in the delivery room (risk difference (95% CI), -0.16 (-0.31 to -0.02); p=0.03). SpO2 mean (SD) at 5 min in TPR group and SIB group were 82.9±8.7% and 78.9±12.1%, respectively; mean difference (95% CI), 3.99 (0.15 to 7.83); p=0.04). Median (IQR) of combined Apgar at 5 min in TPR group and SIB group were 13 (12-14) and 12 (10-13), p 0.02. Other outcomes were comparable.
Conclusion: TPR is more efficacious than SIB in terms of lesser delivery room intubation and better SpO2 at 5 min in preterm neonates.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Disease in Childhood is an international peer review journal that aims to keep paediatricians and others up to date with advances in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases as well as advocacy issues such as child protection. It focuses on all aspects of child health and disease from the perinatal period (in the Fetal and Neonatal edition) through to adolescence. ADC includes original research reports, commentaries, reviews of clinical and policy issues, and evidence reports. Areas covered include: community child health, public health, epidemiology, acute paediatrics, advocacy, and ethics.
