Summary

Given the high burden of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and its complications in resource-constrained settings, identifying effective, low-risk interventions is imperative. The study aimed to assess the improvement in oxygenation and ventilation parameters initiating non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) and to compare the incidence of air leaks, sepsis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), prolonged hospital stays, and short-term survival rates.

Conditions

  • Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Non-Invasive High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation

Neonates were managed using a high-frequency oscillatory ventilator with a noninvasive nasal interface. Ventilator settings were adjusted to a mean airway pressure (MAP) of 8-12 cmH₂O, a frequency of 10 Hz, an amplitude adjusted to maintain optimal chest vibration, and an FiO₂ titrated to maintain SpO₂ between 90-94%.

PROCEDURE

Conventional Mechanical Ventilation

Neonates received invasive ventilation through an endotracheal tube. Settings were adjusted to an initial tidal volume of 4-6 mL/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 4-6 cmH₂O, a respiratory rate of 30-50 breaths per minute, and FiO₂ titrated to maintain SpO₂ between 90-94%.
