| Popis: | Bubble CPAP (bCPAP) is used for respiratory distress (RD) in neonates. The leading causes of neonatal mortality can lead to severe RD. Many neonatal deaths are preventable using evidence-based interventions like bCPAP as part of a comprehensive approach. The study aimed to assess the implementation of a multi-center, comprehensive hospital-based bCPAP program in a low-middle-income country using a low-cost bCPAP device. Seven established hospitals in three Nigerian States were selected using purposive sampling. A respiratory support program was developed and implemented using the Pumani® bCPAP. Neonates 1000g and breathing spontaneously, were eligible. The program lasted 22 months. Focus group discussions and in-depth interviews of healthcare workers and hospital administrators were used in program assessment. Content analysis of qualitative data completed. The staff reported that the bCPAP device was easy to use and effective. All staff reported comfort in eligible patient identification, effective set up and bCPAP administration. All study sites experienced varying degrees of electric power interruption and oxygen availability and affordability. Staff training, staffing disruptions, data collection challenges and use of improvised bCPAP contributed to low enrollment. Advocacy, direct program support, and innovation using locally available resources improved enrollment. Professional organization collaboration, competency-based training and peer mentoring contributed to program success. Thorough pre-program assessment, with comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the existing system within the local context, which are likely to impact the introduction of a new program is important to implementation success. |
