Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hypothesis that nasal intermittent positive pressure(NIPP), used as a primary mode of ventilation in preterm infants with RDS, will decrease the need for conventional endotracheal ventilation when compared to nasal continuous positive airway pressure.(NCPAP)


Clinical Trial Description

Respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) and its sequelae, bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) are complications of prematurity.The pathogenesis of BPD is multifactorial and one of the most important risk factors is the ventilator-induced lung injury caused by invasive respiratory support.

The two modes of non-invasive ventilation, NIPP and specially NCPAP, have been used frequently in the respiratory care of preterm infants in neonatal units.NCPAP is currently a common practice for the treatment of RDS . NIPP has been found to be more effective than NCPAP in apnea of prematurity and immediately after extubation in preterm infants,decreasing the need of endotracheal ventilation.

Alternative techniques of non-invasive ventilation has been suggested in some studies to decrease respiratory morbidities associated with prematurity.This non-invasive approach could be used initially as a primary mode of ventilation for infants with RDS in a effort to decrease lung injury and BPD.Studies are needed to compare the effectiveness of these therapies. ;
