Implementation of surfactant treatment during continuous positive airway pressure

Comparison of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy with and without Prophylactic Surfactant in Preterm Neonates

Background: Preterm labor is at risk for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and sometimes requires to mechanical ventilation (MV) and surfactant therapy. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and Nasal Continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) are the methods of respiratory support especially for using in RDS of neonates. In other method surfactant is administered to babies via tracheal...

Intraocular Pressure during Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Humidification during continuous positive airway pressure therapy.

The study by Massie et al1 has, for the first time, presented scientific proof that the prophylactic application of a humidifier as an accessory in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy can improve not only patient compliance and comfort during treatment, but also the results of the treatment. We consider the study to be of particular importance because it shows that we now have to...

Effectiveness of Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Preterm Infants after Less Invasive Surfactant Administration

Background Non-invasive ventilation is increased used in preterm infants. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) after less invasive surfactant administration (LISA). Materials and Methods In this clinical trial, eighty ...
