Use of Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (BCPAP) in Management of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Resource Limited Settings

Aim: To determine the efficacy of use bubble continuous positive airway pressure in management neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Study design: Prospective study. Place and duration study: Paediatric Medicine, Abbas Institute Medical Sciences (AIMS) Muzafarabad, AJ Kashmir from 01-02-2022 to 31-07-2022. Methodology: Fifty new born who were admitted with syndrome was enrolled. On clinical examination their shake test found for or other cases chest x-ray imaging suggestive towards symptoms. Oxygen flow-meter prepared nasal-pong closed prior attachment neonate. Appearance, pulse, grimace, activity respiration scoring at five min, primigravida, child temperature, vital signs, oxygen saturation rate, complications, post pre-bubble recorded. Results: The mean age neonates 2.7±1.1 days. There more male children than female suffering maternal 32.3±3.5 years 70% births be singleton Antenatal steroids received by 66.7% 5 minutes appearance, score presented 64% within a range 8-10 points. 76.2% syndromes successfully weaned off pressure. Conclusion: Bubble is cost-effective technique resource limited regions reducing treating decreasing mortality. Keywords: Management, Respiratory syndrome, Management
