| Popis: | Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in neonates with mild to moderate respiratory distress. Method: A single centre randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Sri Jayawardenepura General Hospital, Sri Lanka from January to December 2015. The trial was registered with The Clinical Trials Registry ‘Clinical Trials.gov’ retrospectively. Eighty neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were randomly allocated to NIPPV and CPAP. Outcomes of respiratory support were observed and information on risk factors were obtained by going through the bed head tickets of the study cohort. Data analysis was done using SPSS 20 software. Results: Infants treated with NIPPV and CPAP had comparable demographic data and clinical status at the time of enrolment into the study. Infants treated initially with NIPPV needed less endotracheal ventilation than infants treated with CPAP (35% vs 40%, p = 0.644) but this difference is not statistically significant. Conclusions: The risks for respiratory failure and the need for ventilation were not statistically significantly different whether using NIPPV or CPAP.
