Respiratory Distress, Newborn
Conditions
Brief summary
Neonatal respiratory distress is a common problem in preterm infants. The application of CPAP is widely used in neonatal units as a primary mode of respiratory support for respiratory distress. However, discomfort, nasal injuries, and fixation difficulties have been reported as obstacles when applying CPAP. High velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) may serve as an alternative to CPAP. Trials are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of HVNI in reducing the incidence of respiratory distress. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness and safety of HVNI as an alternative therapy to CPAP in premature infants with moderate respiratory distress. This study is a prospective, non-inferiority, randomized, unblinded controlled trial to compare the efficacy of HVNI and CPAP. The subjects were randomly allocated to receive either HVNI or CPAP according to the study protocol. They were randomly assigned using blocks of four. The completion of HVNI therapy was determined by therapeutic failure within 72 hours following enrollment, indicated by the need for intubation.
Interventions
DEVICEHVNI
Preterm infants with gestational age (GA) less than 32 weeks or birth weight less than 1500 grams. The infant has moderate respiratory distress (Downe score ≤ 6) detected within 24 hours after birth.

Inclusion criteria
\*\*Inclusion Criteria:\*\* * Preterm infants born in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital with gestational age (GA) less than 32 weeks or birth weight less than 1500 grams. * Infants with moderate respiratory distress (Downe score ≤ 6) detected within 24 hours after birth. * Parents are willing to participate in the study. \*\*
Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness of HVNI to prevent intubation within 72 hours | Intubation rates within 72 hours | The primary outcome was treatment failure/success within 72 hours of treatment between HVNI and CPAP |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Length of stay | 30 days | Duration from birth until discharge |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intraventricular Hemmorhage (IVH) | one week | The occurrence of bleeding in lateral and third or fourth ventricles characterized by hyper-attenuating fluid typically seen as layering within the ventricles in imaging studies |
| Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) | Within 28 days | Prolonged need for supplemental oxygen in preterm infants after 28 days of age or after 36 weeks postmenstrual age and who do not have other conditions requiring oxygen |
