Short Term Effects of Synchronized vs. Non-synchronized Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation in Preterm Infants. A Randomized Crossover Study.

cardio-respiratory events are defined as:
Hypoxic episodes (SatO2 < 80% for at least 4 seconds)
Apneas episodes (absence of breath for at least 20 sec or at least 5 sec if associated to hypoxia or bradycardia)
Bradycardia episodes (heart rate <80 bpm)

necessity of endotracheal intubation (FiO2 >40% and/or apnea episodes and/or increasing pCO2)

Possible indicators:
gestational age at birth birth weight delivery type APGAR at 1/5 minutes (and 10 minutes if effectuated) steroid prenatal prophylaxis surfactant administration type and duration of MV previously administered (if any) type and duration of NIV previously administered (if any) corrected gestational age at enrolling caffeine doses administered (if any) FiO2 maintained during monitoring EGA values at start and end of monitoring

Infants in Group A were cycled between NCPAP and nasal prongs. For the first 12 hours, infants received 10 hours of NCPAP and 2 hours of 1 litre per minute of nasal prongs (NP). For the next 12 hours, infants received 8 hours of NCPAP and 4 hours of NP. In the subsequent 24 hours, infants alternated between 6 hours of NCPAP and 6 hours of NP. In the last 24 hours of intervention they alternated between 4 hours of NCPAP and 8 hours of NP.

Infants randomized to group B received continuous NCPAP at a CPAP distending pressure of 4 cm of water for 72 hours. Both the groups after 72 hours of intervention were weaned to 1litre per minute NP. During the intervention period all infants were scored using the ACoRN respiratory score on a 12 hourly basis.

E-23596 - Use of NCPAP Cycling to Wean Preterm Infants

Randomised Controlled Trial to Study the Effect of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) Cycling on Successful Weaning When Compared With Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) in Premature Infants of 25-28 Weeks Gestation

Primary outcome was successful weaning off NCPAP at the end of 72 hours of the intervention and remained off NCPAP for the next 72 hours
