Filter by:Intubated preterm infants between 800-1200 grams and under 32 weeks of gestational age will start with PRVC ventilation mode, basal blood gases and work of breathing will measured. After that mode will shift to Bilevel Volume Guarantee mode for two hours than clinical and other parameters will be checked again. After this intervention, patients will allocated to PRVC or Bilevel VG group for remaining time.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease in preterm infants. The increase in the survival rate of premature babies following the improvement of perinatal treatment and care has caused an increase in the incidence of BPD in recent years, which has seriously affected the quality of life of preterm infants. According to the consensus reached at the workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in 2001, BPD was clinically defined based on oxygen dependency in preterm infants. However, the refined NICHD definition of BPD in 2018 emphasizes imaging findings to support a diagnosis of lung parenchyma disease. Fibrotic opacities and cystic changes on chest imaging (chest X-ray [CXR] or computed tomography [CT] scan) were considered typical findings in BPD patients. In patients with severe BPD, the presence of bubbles/cystic appearance on CXR after 28 days of life was reported to be an important factor, and typical imaging findings can predict a poor pulmonary outcome in BPD patients. BPD is associated with poor outcomes. Although many studies have been conducted on BPD, there are limited reports specifically evaluating the association of typical imaging findings with clinical characteristics and later outcomes in patients with BPD. We hypothesized that BPD with typical imaging findings was likely to be a particular subgroup of this entity, with a unique etiology, clinical characteristics and prognosis. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to compare clinical characteristics, short-term outcomes and follow-up data until 2 years of age in preterm infants with or without typical imaging findings of BPD on CXR or CT scan during the entire hospital stay. A propensity score analysis was used to reduce bias between the two groups, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors related to mortality in preterm infants with BPD.
BACKGROUND Treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome with exogenous surfactant and mechanical ventilation made millions of preterm infants survived in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Endotracheal intubation surfactant administration is related to invasive intubation and short periods of positive pressure ventilation and implies the risk of lung injury. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or NIPPV (Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) with surfactant but without intubation may work synergistically. This randomized trial investigated a minimal invasive surfactant administration (MISA). To test the hypothesis that MISA increases survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks' gestational age in very low birth weight infants. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The Minimal Invasive Surfactant Administration (MISA) was a multicenter, randomized, clinical, parallel-group study conducted between July 1st, 2017, and November 30, 2018, in 8 level III neonatal intensive care units in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei province, China. The final follow-up date was March 30, 2019. Participants enrolled spontaneously breathing preterm infants born between 26.1 and 31.9 weeks' gestational age with signs of respiratory distress syndrome. In an intention-to-treat design, infants were randomly assigned to receive surfactant (Calf pulmonary surfactant, Double-Crane Pharmaceutical Co., China) either via a 5Fr nasogastric tube during CPAP/NIPPV-assisted spontaneous breathing (minimal invasive surfactant administration group, MISA group) or after conventional endotracheal intubation during mechanical ventilation (endotracheal intubation surfactant administration group, EISA group). INTERVENTION MISA via a 5Fr nasogastric tube with an ophthalmic surgery straight forceps.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate a significant decrease in asynchrony with NIV-NAVA using the Servo n ventilator (Getinge, Sweden), as compared to abdominal triggered (Graseby capsule) synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (sNIPPV) using the Infant Flow CPAP device (Care Fusion, USA). All of the data obtained can be used to develop a large-scale study aimed at reducing the rate of re-intubation in the study population (pilot study). In fact, the re-intubation criteria for extremely premature children are based on clinical criteria (desaturations, apnea, signs of respiratory control) and paraclinical criteria (FiO2, Potential hydrogen (pH), PCO2). The results of this pilot study will help to develop an adapted methodology and to calculate a sample size to compare the 2 modes of NIV to the test on a clinical criterion: the rate of re-intubation after extubation, which is classically high in these patients.

Positioning, which is one of the individualized developmental care methods, is known as the important care support process which is applied with the purpose of ensuring the least damage from the environmental. Positioning in preterm infants is the basis of neonatal nursing care. Positioning in preterm infants receiving mechanical ventilation support is important in terms of physiological and neurodevelopment. In infants undergoing respiratory support in NICU, it is important to determine the appropriate position, the frequency and duration of position change in order to reduce the oxygen need. In this respect, the aim of this study, designed as a randomized controlled trial, was to determine the effect of supine and prone positions on physiological variables (oxygen saturation and heart rate) of preterm infants receiving mechanical ventilation.
The purpose of this study is to compare how premature infants who required oxygen for at least 28 days during their time in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) breathe at discharge compared to premature infants who did not require oxygen for at least 28 days during their time in the NICU.
Oral L-citrulline supplementation may prevent and/or decrease the severity of chronic lung disease associated with pulmonary hypertension in preterm infants. Since oral L-citrulline supplementation has never been studied in preterm infants before, the side effect profile and appropriate dosing are still unknown. In this pilot study, the investigators will determine the safety profile, efficacy and appropriate dosing of oral L-citrulline in preterm infants. In the future, information from this study will be utilized to conduct a randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the role of L-citrulline supplementation in treating BPD_PH.
Infants delivered weighing less than 1 kg at birth (ELBW) are at high risk for the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI), in part because of the need for mechanical ventilation utilizing an endotracheal tube (MVET). In spite of strategies to minimize the need for MVET, the incidence of BPD in ELBW infants continues to be 20-80%. The hypothesis is that synchronized NIPPV will decrease the need for MVET and reduce BPD in ELBW infants as compared to NIPPV.
SpO2 instability is in the nature of premature infants. Hypoxic episodes occur spontaneously in many of these infants, especially after the first week of life. Different interventions have been shown to influence the incidence of hypoxemic episodes in premature infants. A few studies point towards potential clinical benefits of better oxygenation and less hypoxic events by positioning very low birth weight infants prone, though a recent meta-analysis didn't find a clear benefit of prone position. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in oxygenation among preterm infants receiving respiratory support when positioned prone versus supine, as documented by SpO2 histograms.
