PERIPHERAL BLOOD FLOW DURING CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE BREATHING (CPAP) IN TERM NEONATES

The Effect of Non-nutritive Sucking on Transcutaneous Oxygen Saturation in Neonates under the Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

BackgroundSeveral beneficial effects of non-nutritive sucking in infants, including the physiological stability, relaxation, better transition from tube feeding to oral feeding have been reported. But its effect on oxygen saturation in neonates under the Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAPو (is not so clear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of non-nutritive sucking on tr...

Labour room Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (LR CPAP) in preterm neonates <34 weeks: An Indian experience.

Early continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has proven to be beneficial in reducing ventilator dependence and subsequent chronic lung disease in neonates suffering from Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). However, the efficacy of initiating labour room (LR) CPAP has not been determined prospectively in resource limited settings like India. Hence the objective of the present study was to s...

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the treatment of hypernasality

The purpose of this presentation is to provide a progress report and preliminary data pertaining to a study designed to test the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in reducing hypernasality.

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...
