T-Piece based airway management in the ‘wet newborn’: Potential for hyperventilation

s / Resuscitation 96S (2015) 43–157 129 the study. Main outcome measures: five-minute Apgar scores, PAcaused neonatal mortality and incidence of HIE. Results:Newborns (116169)were included. Incidenceof infants born with 5-minute Apgar scores of ≤6 in group I – 1.25% vs group II – 0.7% (p<0.001). PA-caused neonatal mortality per 1000 live births (0–27 days): group I – 0.65/1000 vs group II – 0.35/1000 (p – 0.004), early neonatal mortality (0–6 days): group I – 0.55/1000 vs group II – 0.1/1000 (p<0.001). PA-caused neonatal mortality per 1000 term live births: group I – 0.3/1000 vs group II – 0.15/1000, perinatal PA-caused mortality for term live births: gr. I – 0.2/1000 vs group II – 0.3/1000 (p – 0.04). Incidence of HIE: group I–10.3% vs group II 3.0% (p – 0.03). Conclusion: Since the introduction of Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) in Lithuania, neonatal mortality and morbidity associated with PA decreased near double and the rate of the neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in terms decreased threefold. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.resuscitation.2015.09.305
