To audit clinical practice during transport of very preterm infants (<32 weeks) with acute respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) receiving nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP).
Retrospective cohort study.
Twenty-seven infants were receiving NCPAP before transport team's arrival, and 23 were commenced on NCPAP after team's arrival. Six infants (12%) failed NCPAP before transfer, 2 infants (4.5%) failed NCPAP less than 24 hours, and 5 infants (11.3%) failed more than 24 hours - 7 days following admission. None died or developed pneumothorax during, or 7 days after admission. We did not observe NCPAP failure during transfer. There was a statistically significant difference between the NCPAP success and NCPAP failure groups for FiO2 at admission (p < 0.05), and the duration of NCPAP (p < 0.05).
NCPAP is a potentially safe and effective mode of respiratory support for very preterm infants during ground, and air transports.
审核在转运患有急性呼吸窘迫综合征(RDS)的极早产儿(<32周)期间使用鼻持续气道正压通气(NCPAP)的临床实践。
回顾性队列研究。
27名婴儿在转运团队到达前接受NCPAP治疗,23名婴儿在转运团队到达后开始使用NCPAP。6名婴儿(12%)在转运前NCPAP治疗失败,2名婴儿(4.5%)在入院后24小时内NCPAP治疗失败,5名婴儿(11.3%)在入院后24小时以上至7天内NCPAP治疗失败。在入院期间或入院后7天内,无婴儿死亡或发生气胸。我们未观察到转运期间NCPAP治疗失败的情况。NCPAP治疗成功组和失败组在入院时的吸入氧浓度(p<0.0
