Maternal outcome & effect of bCPAP on preterm infants with Respiratory Distress- A Clinical Study
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Respiratory distress syndrome is a breathing disorder of premature babies. Respiratory support is provided to neonates using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of Gynaecology & Obstectrics. It comprised of sixty neonates with mild to moderate respiratory distress of both genders. Maternal outcome of neoborn, DOWNES score, ABG PH, ABG CO2 was recorded. Results: There were 25 (41.7%) male child and 35 (58.3%) female child. The mean± SD gestational age in male child was 34.8± 2.2 weeks and 35.2± 2.4 weeks in female. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). The mean DOWNES score before CPAP was 5.98 and after CPAP was 3.34. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The mean ABG PH before CPAP was 7.36 and after CPAP was 7.30. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). The mean ABG CO2 before CPAP was 42.46 and after CPAP was 42.21. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Three mothers had multiple births, 4 had PIH, 7 had PROM, 10 had maternal diabetes and 4 had MSAF. In 32 mothers, there were non- significant findings. Conclusion: B-CPAP is effective in the treatment of neonates who were suffering from respiratory distress. It resulted in significant reduction of DOWNES score in neonates with respiratory distress.
