Abstract
Background
There has been major shift in choice of respiratory support in preterm babies from invasive to non-invasive. There are various modes of non-invasive respiratory support. The comparative efficacy of one mode over another is an important research area.
Objective
To evaluate effectiveness of Nasal duo positive airway pressure (NDUOPAP) vs nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in reducing need of mechanical ventilation in preterms ≤35 weeks of gestation with respiratory distress syndrome.
Design
Open label, non-inferiority Randomized controlled trial.
Subjects
122 Neonates with GA ≤ 35 weeks (61 in NDUOPAP and 61 in NCPAP) with RDS & Silverman Andersen score ≥ 4, admitted to NICU.
Primary outcome.
Failure of allocated modes within first 120 h after birth.
Results
There was no significant difference between NDUOPAP: 11(18 %) and NCPAP:12(19.7 %) in treatment failure at the first 120 h of birth (p = 0.817). The morbidities including Patent Ductus Arteriosus, Pneumothorax, Intraventricular Hemorrhage, Sepsis, Necrotizing Enterocoilitis, Apnea of prematurity, Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, Retinopathy of prematurity & mortality were similar between the two groups. The duration of non-invasive respiratory support, mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy were also not significantly different. However the need for surfactant was lower in the NDUOPAP group when compared to NCPAP (p = 0.018).
Conclusions
NDUOPAP compared to NCPAP did not reduce the need for mechanical ventilation during the first 120 h of birth in preterms with RDS.
期刊介绍:
Established as an authoritative, highly cited voice on early human development, Early Human Development provides a unique opportunity for researchers and clinicians to bridge the communication gap between disciplines. Creating a forum for the productive exchange of ideas concerning early human growth and development, the journal publishes original research and clinical papers with particular emphasis on the continuum between fetal life and the perinatal period; aspects of postnatal growth influenced by early events; and the safeguarding of the quality of human survival.
The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary journal in this area of growing importance, Early Human Development offers pertinent contributions to the following subject areas:
Fetology; perinatology; pediatrics; growth and development; obstetrics; reproduction and fertility; epidemiology; behavioural sciences; nutrition and metabolism; teratology; neurology; brain biology; developmental psychology and screening.
