Non-invasive respiratory support in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a mainstay to reduce complications of invasive mechanical ventilation. Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in infants is used for situations such as respiratory distress syndrome, apnea of prematurity, bronchomalacia with terminal airway collapse, and in other conditions that require positive pressure. T...

BACKGROUND Neonates with respiratory distress syndrome are often treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Nasal CPAP methods include electronic feedback control, underwater seal, flow opposition, and flow opposition with fluidic flow reversal on expiration. Few studies have compared those modes, and the results have been contradictory. METHODS We compared the effect of r...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) using devices with variable flow or bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) regarding CPAP failure, presence of air leaks, total CPAP and oxygen time, and length of intensive care unit and hospital stay in neonates with moderate respiratory distress (RD) and birth weight (BW) ≥ 1,500 g. ...

Background: Continuous Positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a non-invasive form of respiratory support, which safe and effective in neonates with distress. The purpose this study to predict the length stay on bubble CPAP by correlating initial duration it respect gestational age, birth weight distress scores. Objective: To correlate thereby predicting analyzing factors responsible for failure. Ma...

Objective: To determine the outcome of preterm neonates with early introduction bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Methodology: This observational study was conducted in NICU Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad from March 2017 to August 2017. Ninety infants were enrolled a gestational age 28 37 weeks and clinical features Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). Infant variables...

Background: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a well-established mode of respiratory support in newborns. Bubble CPAP (bCPAP) safe, efficacious and easy to use preterm term neonates with mild moderate distress.
 Objectives: To find out the outcome bCPAP neonate Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted over 6 months Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute. Total 108 ...
