Primary outcomes (surfactant administration and failure of non-invasive respiratory support within the first 72 hours), and secondary outcomes (duration of ventilation support, pneumothorax, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular haemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity, time to total enteral feeding, length of hospital stay, and mortality) were assessed.A total of 188 preterm infants with RDS were analysed. Mean gestational age was 28.8±1.8 weeks (nCPAP) versus 29±1.9 weeks (BiPAP). There were no statistically significant differences between groups in the failure of non-invasive respiratory support (25% vs. 33%, RR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.47-1.17) or surfactant administration (35% vs. 38%, RR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.49-1.71). No significant differences were observed in secondary outcomes between the two groups. Subgroup analysis of infants<30 weeks yielded similar results.Although two-level CPAP theoretically offers benefits, BiPAP was not superior to nCPAP as initial support in preterm infants with RDS. This underscores the continued value of the simpler, well-established nCPAP and the need for multicentre trials involving preterm infants of varying gestational ages.</p>","PeriodicalId":17846,"journal":{"name":"Klinische Padiatrie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143969721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagnosis can be done by high-speed-videomicroscopy using nasal epithelial cells (NECs) obtained via brushings. This procedure can be painful, especially for children. The use of lidocaine is proposed to reduce this pain; however, it is not clear whether lidocaine changes ciliary beating frequency (CBF) or pattern (CBP) in the subsequent high-speed-videomicroscopy. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of lidocaine on the CBF and the CBP of differentiated, air-liquid-interface cultured NECs.NECs from healthy volunteers were obtained via brushings and cultured at the air-liquid-interface. After differentiation, lidocaine or isotonic saline (IS, control) were added apically for 1 or 5 min each and CBF (in top view of whole inserts and side views of scratched cells) and CBP (only side view) were assessed and recorded up to 150 min. CBF was computed and CBP was analysed semiquantitatively.Lidocaine as well as IS increased the CBF in the top view approach significantly compared to baseline. However, we found no significant differences between lidocaine and IS (control) treatment. Additionally, no effect of lidocaine on CBF, CBP, amplitude, inter- and intracellular coordination or transport was seen in the side view approach.We conclude that the observed CBF increase is related to the addition of liquid on the mucus layer and not by the lidocaine itself. Therefore, it seems possible to use lidocaine for nasal analgesia without impact on subsequent analysis of the ciliary motility.</p>","PeriodicalId":17846,"journal":{"name":"Klinische Padiatrie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143472764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
