Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: CPAP refers to the application of positive pressure to the airway of a spontaneously breathing infant throughout the respiratory cycle. Objectives: To study the clinical pattern of CPAP in neonate Method: Total 75 patient were enrolled in the study, 38 in the nasal mask and 37 were in the nasal prongs group. The result of the study was analysed by using Fisher exact test and unpaired t test for continuous variable. Results: The base line characteristics such as birth weight, male and female, match in both the groups. The babies who were < 32wks and < 1500gm birth weight had more frequent trauma in both the groups. The severity of trauma was more as the duration of CPAP was increasing in both the groups. There was no difference of co morbidities like PDA, ROP, IVH in both the groups. Conclusion: The of duration of CPAP was less in nasal prongs than nasal mask which is statistically significant, but there were no statistically significance of nasal trauma in comparison of both the groups.
