Respiratory Management of Preterm Infants and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Completed
Conditions
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Registration Number
NCT03411018
Lead Sponsor
Manuel Sanchez Luna
Brief Summary

This observational study evaluates the impact of respiratory management modifications implemented in our institution on the intubation rates and the death or Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) outcome.

Detailed Description

Less invasive respiratory management has been implemented in most neonatal units as well as lung protective ventilatory strategies when intubation is required in order to minimize ventilator induced lung injury.

In our institution a new ventilatory protocol including less invasive surfactant administration, Synchronized nasal positive pressure ventilation and early rescue High frequency ventilation has been implemented during 2013-14.

Hypothesis: New less invasive and lung protective strategies to prevent lung injury had been effective in reducing intubation rates.
