Popis: In a prospective randomized trial, 103 term newborns with persisting dyspnea, tachypnea and/or cyanosis were treated in the delivery room with oxygen for 5-10 min and then with oxygen plus mask CPAP for another 5-15 min. Cases with overt prenatal or intrapartum obstetric pathology were excluded from the study. 41/103 infants (40%) responded to this procedure within 10-25 min. The remaining 62 infants (60%) were randomly allocated to one of 3 forms of further treatment: continuation of mask CPAP for 20 min (group A, n=24), volume expansion with 9 mL of 3 mL albumin, 3 mL glucose, and 3 mEq NaHCO3 (group B, n=24), or volume expansion with 4.5 mL albumin and 4.5 mL glucose (group C, n=14). There was no statistical difference in birth weight, gestational age, or Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min between groups.
