Stabilisation of premature infants in the delivery room with nasal high flow

摘要: Objective This was a pilot study to determine the feasibility of using nasal high flow (nHF) (also known as heated humidified high-flow cannula) for stabilisation babies born at <30 weeks gestation in delivery room (DR) and transfer neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Design Observational study. Setting Single-centre NICU. Patients Infants gestation. Interventions Stabilisation NICU nHF. Main outcome measures Feasibility defined by successful clinical stability admission including oxygen requirement, temperature, requirement surfactant inotrope use within 72 h delivery. Results Twenty-eight were enrolled after written parental consent had been obtained. 25/28 successfully stabilised DR transferred on nHF. The average temperature nHF 36.9°C inspired 29%. Less than half (48%) required 60% still admission. 1 baby received inotropes. Conclusions Our suggests that premature infants subsequent is feasible. Clinical trial registration number NCT01991886.
