Background: INSURE (Intubation, Surfactant administration, and Extubation) therapy is controversial in managing respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) late preterm newborns. This study aims to determine whether the use of infants with RDS associated improved outcomes compared similar managed CPAP alone. Methods: A retrospective cohort two different neonatal care units treatments Bucaramanga, Colom...

background and objectives: the weaning procedure of mechanical ventilation in many patients is a difficult and long process and increases the time of mechanical ventilation. there are numerous ways to achieve this goal. one common way is using cpap-ventilator. considering the lower price of blender-humidifier compared to cpapof ventilator and the limited number of studies in this field, this st...

Abstract Background For some patients, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) remains an uncomfortable therapy despite the constant development of technological innovations. To date, no real life study has investigated relationship between mask related side-effects (MRSEs) and CPAP-non-adherence (defined as < 4 h/day) or residual-excessive-sleepiness (RES, Epworth-Sleepiness-Scale (ESS) ...

INTRODUCTION Pneumonia is a leading cause of mortality among children in low-resource settings. Mortality is greatest among children with high-risk conditions including HIV infection or exposure, severe malnutrition and/or severe hypoxaemia. WHO treatment recommendations include low-flow oxygen for children with severe pneumonia. Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) is a non-invas...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common sleep disorder associated with a myriad of sequelae. OSAHS is effectively treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. However, fewer than 50% of patients are compliant with their CPAP therapy prescriptions. The current study sought to explore an integrated, biopsychological approach to CPAP adher...
