Abstract:

Background: Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is a non-invasive ventilatory mode, which delivers mechanical ventilation via nasal tubes or prongs. The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of NIPPV and nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (NCPAP) in reducing the need for intubation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Methods: This randomized, clinical trial was conducted at the neonatal intensive care unit of Imam Reza Hospital, affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences during eight months since April 2014. Preterm infants with RDS were recruited before showing any indications for endotracheal intubation after birth. The NIPPV and NCPAPV groups were matched in terms of clinical characteristics. Each infant was randomized to receive either NIPPV or NCPAPV immediately after extubation. Nasal ventilation was deemed successful if intubation was not required within at least 72 hours. Brain sonography was carried out on the third day of life in all infants. Data were recorded for all neonates until hospital discharge. Results: In total, 28% (15/53) and 26.4% (14/53) of infants in the NIPPV and NCPAPV groups were intubated within the first 72 h after birth, respectively (P=0.168). Neither of the procedures induced major adverse effects, although the incidence rate and severity of intraventricular hemorrhage were higher in the NIPPV group, compared to the NCPAPV group (P=0.026). Conclusion: Although NIPPV is confirmed as the first-line treatment for the management of neonatal RDS, this mode of ventilation showed no superiority over NCPAPV in eliminating the need for mechanical ventilation in the present study.

A Comparative Study of Treatment Response of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Infants: Early Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation versus Early Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Background Infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) is one of the main causes of serious complications and death in preterm infants. Both Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) and Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) are known as the most common treatment strategies for IRDS. The present study intended to compare NCPAP and NIPPV in the treatment of preterm inf...

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 ...

Early Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) for Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in Infants of 28-36 weeks gestational age: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Early nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) has emerged as a primary modality of respiratory support for preterm infants withrespiratory distress syndrome (RDS). However, 30%-40% of these newborns need subsequent mechanical ventilation. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is a promising alternative to NCPAP, especially in po...
