The Role of Sustained Inflation on Short Term Respiratory Outcomes in Term Infants

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn
Respiratory Morbidity
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
Registration Number
NCT03165305
Lead Sponsor
Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital
Brief Summary

Sustained inflation (SI) has been reported to be effective for reducing the need for intubation and/or invasive ventilation in preterm infants. However, it has also an important role to support the initial breaths and liquid removal from the airways. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized that SI performed just after birth may help to facilitate the transitional period and decrease the incidence of early respiratory morbidities such as transient tachypnea in term infants.
