In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CPAP and NIPPV for Respiratory Distress of Newborn. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of treatment with Non Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in decreasing the requirement for endotracheal ventilation in neonates with respiratory distress within the first hours of birth.Primary outcome is the non invasive respiratory support failure and the need for intubated ventilatory support during the first 72 hours of life. Randomized control , single center trial. Eighty neonates admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) were randomly allocated to NIPPV and CPAP. Outcomes of respiratory support were observed and information on risk factors were obtained by going through bed head ticket.
