- Conditions
- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
- Interventions
- Procedure: screening
- Registration Number
- NCT06557915
- Lead Sponsor
- Sohag University
- Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to Detect and Screen different nasal complications of using CPAP in neonates and infants and reach a consensus about minimizing nasal problems of CPAP in neonates and infants
- Detailed Description
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a means of providing respiratory support to neonates with either upper airway obstruction or respiratory failure. Respiratory failure constitutes either failure of ventilation or failure of lung function.
Nasal CPAP can be delivered through various devices, of which a nasal mask and binasal prongs are the most commonly used. However, earlier studies have described the development of Pressure Injuries (PI) on the nasal skin caused by these nCPAP devices
Nasal complications of nasal CPAP vary from external nasal complications such as columellar hyperemia, columellar necrosis to intranasal complications such as intranasal ulceration, granulation, vestibular stenosis and intranasal synechiae
Aims of the Study:
* Detection and Screening of different nasal complications of using CPAP in neonates and infants
* reach a consensus about minimizing nasal problems of CPAP in neonates and infants
Patients and Methods:
* Type of the study: prospective study.
* Place of the study:
* Pediatric department and its units (Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), Critical care unit)
* Otorhinolaryngology department In Sohag university hospitals (old and new)
* Study period: One year from date of acceptance of the protocol.
* Patient:
Neonates and infants subjected to CPAP and presented to ENT department for assessment of nasal condition
• Methods:
All cases will be subjected to:
1. Full medical history: Name, age, sex, date of birth
2. Indications and duration of CPAP
3. Complete Ear,nose and throat (ENT) examination including endoscopic examination
