    Ventilator-induced lung injury is a recognized risk factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia. To determine whether primary continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), defined as CPAP without previous endotracheal intubation for any indication, can reduce the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation in infants born at ≤32 weeks' gestational age. The literature was reviewed using the methodology for systematic reviews for the Consensus on Resuscitation Science adapted from the American Heart Association's International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. Fourteen studies were reviewed. Eleven studies provided varying degrees of supportive evidence (level of evidence 3 to 4) that the use of primary CPAP can reduce the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation. The use of CPAP as a primary intervention and mode of respiratory support is an option for infants ≤32 weeks' gestation, but avoidance of intubation and mechanical ventilation is more likely in mature infants >27 weeks' gestation.

    Objective The mode of ventilation that is implicated in pneumothorax is the one at the time of its diagnosis. Although there is evidence that air leak starts many hours before it is clinically evident, there are no prior studies that have investigated the association of pneumothorax with the mode of ventilation few hours before rather than at the time of its diagnosis. Study Design A retrospective case–control study was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) between 2006 and 2016 where cases of neonates with pneumothorax were compared with gestational age-matched control neonates without pneumothorax. Respiratory support associated with pneumothorax was classified as the mode of ventilation 6 hours before the clinical diagnosis of pneumothorax. We investigated the factors that were different between cases and controls, and between cases of pneumothorax on bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Result Of the 8,029 neonates admitted in the NICU during the study period, 223 (2.8%) developed pneumothorax. Among these, 127 occurred among 2,980 (4.3%) neonates on bCPAP, 38 among 809 (4.7%) neonates on IMV, and the remaining 58 among 4,240 (1.3%) neonates on room air. Those with pneumothorax were more likely to be male, have higher body weight, require respiratory support and surfactant administration, and have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Among those who developed pneumothorax, there were differences in the gestational age, gender, and use of antenatal steroids between those who were on bCPAP as compared to those on IMV. IMV was associated with increased odds of pneumothorax as compared to those on bCPAP in a multivariable regression analysis. Cases on IMV had higher incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity, BPD, and necrotizing enterocolitis, as well as longer length of stay as compared to those on bCPAP. Conclusion Neonates who require any respiratory support have higher incidence of pneumothorax. Among those on respiratory support, those on IMV had higher odds of pneumothorax and worse clinical outcomes as compared to those on bCPAP. Key Points

    To identify the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).Data from 72 patients with RDS (birth weight 1607 +/- 277 g; gestational age 29.47 +/- 2.54 weeks) who were hospitalized for >28 days and who received mechanical ventilation treatment between January 2001 and August 2005 were studied retrospectively. A logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors associated with the development of BPD.Of the 72 patients, 17 developed BPD (23.6%). Uniovariate analysis revealed that in addition to a gestational age of < or = 30 weeks and a birth weight below 1250 g, the times of mechanical ventilation treatment (> or = 2 times), concurrent pulmonary infection and pneumorrhagia, prolonged mechanical ventilation (> or = 5 days), and positive sputum bacterial cultures on 2 occasions were all associated with an increase in the incidence of BPD. Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that birth weight below 1250 g, prolonged mechanical ventilation (> or = 10 days),and positive sputum cultures on 3 or more occasions were independent risk factors for BPD (OR=6.614,14.997 and 39.752 respectively).The risk for BPD is multifactorial. Preventing small gestational age and low birth weight prematurity, decreasing the duration of mechanical ventilation and treatment of pulmonary infection are necessary to prevent BPD.

    Objective The objective of this study was to determine differences in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death in very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants managed successfully on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus mechanical ventilation on the first day of life (DOL). Study Design This is a retrospective analysis of the Alere neonatal database for infants born between January 2009 and December 2014, weighing ≤ 1,500 g. Baseline demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes were compared between the two groups. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to control the variables that differ in bivariate analysis. Results In this study, 4,629 infants (birth weight 1,034 ± 290 g, gestational age 28.1 ± 2.5 weeks) met the inclusion criteria. The successful use of early CPAP was associated with a significant reduction in BPD or death (p < 0.001), as well as days to room air, decreased oxygen use at discharge, lower risk for severe intraventricular hemorrhage, and patent ductus arteriosus requiring surgical ligation (p < 0.001 for all outcomes). Conclusion Successful use of early CPAP on the first DOL in VLBW infants is associated with a reduced risk of BPD or death.

    Background

    Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a major complication of prematurity, but the ability to predict which infants with a given birth weight or gestational age will experience this morbidity remains poor. We consider whether a physiologic marker of respiratory status between 4 and 10 days after birth, the PRSS (mean airway pressure × FiO2), can also serve as an early predictor of BPD.

    Methods

    We studied infants <32 weeks gestational age requiring CPAP or ventilation who were enrolled in two multicenter trials, the NO CLD trial (infants randomized to either postnatal nitric oxide or placebo at 20 centers) and the North American Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone study (TRH) (Ballard RA, NEJM, 1998). Peak respiratory severity score (PRSS) was collected from bedside flowsheet data. Logistic regression models were developed to determine the association of the PRSS between 4 and 10 days after birth and the development of BPD, defined as an oxygen requirement at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. Birth weight and gestational age were included in separate models to control for baseline risk of BPD.

    Results

    332 patients from the NO CLD trial and 194 from the TRH trial required CPAP or mechanical ventilation between days 4 and 10 after birth. The mean birth weight was 748 6 124 g and gestational age was 25 6 2.5 weeks. 308 (59%) developed BPD. Logistic regression models including birth weight and PRSS showed that the PRSS between 4 and 10 days was significantly associated with BPD using thresholds of both 3.5 [OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.4-2.8] and 4.0 [OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.5-3.0]. Although birth weight alone was significantly associated with BPD (p=0.03), when PRSS was added to the model, birth weight was no longer significant. When gestational age was substituted for birth weight in the predictive models, PRSS remained significantly associated with the development of BPD. Both PRSS thresholds remained significantly associated with BPD when each trial was analyzed separately.

    Conclusions

    The PRSS that a ventilated infant reaches between 4 and 10 days after birth is a significant risk factor for occurrence of BPD. This finding emphasizes the role of early postnatal lung disease in the development of BPD. PRSS may be a useful clinical and research tool to identify infants at increased risk for BPD.

    The aim of this study was to evaluate the inspiration fraction of oxygen (FiO2) trend as an indicator of timing to suspend nasal continuous positive airway pressure (N-CPAP) and shift the babies to mechanical ventilation, in order to reduce the incidence of pneumothorax, comparing a similar population admitted in our division during the previous year.Seventy-five newborns (mean gestational age 33.5 weeks, mean birth weight 2,072 g) admitted during 2003 in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, treated with Infant Flow System Nasal-CPAP, were included. Patients with more than 40% increase of the starting FiO2 in the first 24 h of treatment, were intubated and shift on mechanical ventilation. Seventy-seven infants, admitted during the previous year, with similar characteristics (mean gestational age 33.7 weeks, mean birth weight 2,047 g) were considered as control.Fifty-six neonates improved, 19 worsened and required mechanical ventilation. One of these developed pneumothorax (1.3%). Of the 77 infants admitted during the previous year, 26 worsened and were mechanically ventilated, and 8 developed pneumothorax (10.3%). The difference of incidence of pneumothorax was significant (P =0.0337).An increase of FiO2 more than 40% of the initial value during the first 24 h of N-CPAP may be considered a useful marker to identify infants at high risk of pneumothorax.
