Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:5661-5672. [PMID: 37823928 PMCID: PMC10746757 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05259-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Management of respiratory distress (RD) in the extremely preterm newborn meets recommendations. Few data are available concerning the management and the clinical course of moderate and late preterms with RD. Clinical course and management among moderate (30-33 weeks (wks) of gestation) and late preterms (34-36 wks) were assessed in the Neobs study, a French neonatal observational cohort study (2018) of preterms with RD in the first 24 h of life. Clinical course was defined as stable (use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) only), initially severe (initial use of invasive ventilation (IV)), and worsening (switch off IV after NIV support). Surfactant therapy instillation and withdrawal of all ventilator support at 72 h were recorded. Among moderate (n = 279) and late (n = 281) preterms, the clinical course was similar (p < 0.27): stable (82.1 and 86.8%), worsening (11.8% and 9.3%), and initially severe RD (6.1% and 3.9%), respectively. Surfactant was administered more frequently in the moderate versus late preterm groups (28.3% vs 16.7%; p < 0.001). The recommended surfactant dose (200 mg/kg) was administered in 53.3-83.3% of moderate and 42.1-63.2% of late preterms according to the clinical course. Withdrawal of ventilatory support at 72 h was observed in 40.0% and 70.0% of moderate and late preterms, respectively (p < 0.05), and was significantly (p < 0.001) associated with clinical course (the minus proportion among the worsening group). CONCLUSION While the proportion of clinical course pattern is similar in moderate and late preterm infants, the management of RD varies with gestational age, with late preterm infants being managed later in life and moderate premature infants weaned from ventilation at a later stage. WHAT IS KNOWN • There is a lack of clear guidance on the management of respiratory distress (RD) in moderate-to-late preterm infants. • Neobs was a multicentre, observational study designed to characterise the real-world management of moderate-to-late preterm infants with RD in France. WHAT IS NEW • Secondary analyses of Neobs study data found that ventilatory support strategies were dependent on gestational age despite a similar clinical course. • At 30-33 weeks of gestation (wks), infants were more likely to receive non-invasive ventilation at delivery, while 34-36 wks infants were more likely to be managed using a wait-and-see approach.

Abstract
Background Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is the consequence of delayed resorption of lung fluid. When TTN develops, the infant may develop severe hypoxemia and progress to persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Objectives To examine factors associated with the development of PPHN in TTN infants. Methods This retrospective study comprised 23 infants in whom a diagnosis of TTN with PPHN (TTN-PPHN) was confirmed and 59 infants with severe TTN without PPHN who required mechanical ventilation between 2009 and 2018 at Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with TTN and PPHN. Results The factors identified by univariate analysis that were associated with development of PPHN were oxygen saturation (SpO2) <90% and respiratory rate (RR) ≥70 breaths/min at the time of admission, mean airway pressure (MAP) ≥8 cmH2O, oxygen index (OI) ≥10, partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) ≤60, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) ≥45 mmHg, and infants who did not receive positive pressure ventilation (PPV). In multivariate analyses, RR ≥70 breaths/min (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 9.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.1-47.29, P < 0.001) and OI ≥10 (aOR 29.22, 95% CI 4.46-191.23, P < 0.001) remained statistically significantly associated with PPHN. Conclusions High RR and high OI were factors associated with PPHN in TTN infants.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The frequency of non-invasive respiratory support use has increased in neonates of all gestational ages with respiratory distress (RD). However, the impact of delayed initiation of non-invasive respiratory support in outborn neonates remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the impact of the delayed initiation of non-invasive respiratory support in outborn, late-preterm, and term neonates. Medical records of 277 infants (gestational age of ≥ 35 weeks) who received non-invasive respiratory support as primary respiratory therapy < 24 h of age between 2016 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Factors associated with respiratory adverse outcomes were investigated in 190 outborn neonates. Infants with RD were divided into two groups: mild (fraction of inspired oxygen [FiO2] ≤ 0.3) and moderate-to-severe RD (FiO2 > 0.3), depending on their initial oxygen requirements from non-invasive respiratory support. The median time for the initiation of non-invasive respiratory support at a tertiary center was 3.5 (2.2-5.0) h. Male sex, a high oxygen requirement (FiO2 > 0.3), high CO2 level, and respiratory distress syndrome were significant factors associated with adverse outcomes. Subgroup analysis revealed that in the moderate-to-severe RD group, delayed commencement of non-invasive respiratory support (≥ 3 h) was significantly associated with pulmonary air leakage (p = 0.033). CONCLUSION Our study shows that outborn neonates with moderate-to-severe RD, who were treated with delayed non-invasive respiratory support, were associated with an increased likelihood of pulmonary air leakage. Additional prospective studies are required to establish the optimal timing and methods of non-invasive respiratory support for outborn, late-preterm, and term infants. WHAT IS KNOWN • Non-invasive respiratory support is widely used in neonates of all gestational ages. • Little is known on the impact of delayed initiation of non-invasive respiratory support in outborn, late preterm, and term neonates. WHAT IS NEW • Male sex, high oxygen requirement (FiO2 >0.3), high initial CO2 level, and respiratory distress syndrome significantly correlated with adverse outcomes. • Outborn late-preterm and term neonates with high oxygen requirement who were treated with delayed non-invasive respiratory support indicated an increased likelihood of pulmonary air leakage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient tachypnoea of the newborn (TTN) is characterised by tachypnoea and signs of respiratory distress. It is caused by delayed clearance of lung fluid at birth. TTN typically appears within the first two hours of life in term and late preterm newborns. Although it is usually a self-limited condition, admission to a neonatal unit is frequently required for monitoring, the provision of respiratory support, and drugs administration. These interventions might reduce respiratory distress during TTN and enhance the clearance of lung liquid. The goals are reducing the effort required to breathe, improving respiratory distress, and potentially shortening the duration of tachypnoea. However, these interventions might be associated with harm in the infant. OBJECTIVES The aim of this overview was to evaluate the benefits and harms of different interventions used in the management of TTN. METHODS We searched the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews on 14 July 2021 for ongoing and published Cochrane Reviews on the management of TTN in term (> 37 weeks' gestation) or late preterm (34 to 36 weeks' gestation) infants. We included all published Cochrane Reviews assessing the following categories of interventions administered within the first 48 hours of life: beta-agonists (e.g. salbutamol and epinephrine), corticosteroids, diuretics, fluid restriction, and non-invasive respiratory support. The reviews compared the above-mentioned interventions to placebo, no treatment, or other interventions for the management of TTN. The primary outcomes of this overview were duration of tachypnoea and the need for mechanical ventilation. Two overview authors independently checked the eligibility of the reviews retrieved by the search and extracted data from the included reviews using a predefined data extraction form. Any disagreements were resolved by discussion with a third overview author. Two overview authors independently assessed the methodological quality of the included reviews using the AMSTAR 2 (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews) tool. We used the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of evidence for effects of interventions for TTN management. As all of the included reviews reported summary of findings tables, we extracted the information already available and re-graded the certainty of evidence of the two primary outcomes to ensure a homogeneous assessment. We provided a narrative summary of the methods and results of each of the included reviews and summarised this information using tables and figures. MAIN RESULTS We included six Cochrane Reviews, corresponding to 1134 infants enrolled in 18 trials, on the management of TTN in term and late preterm infants, assessing salbutamol (seven trials), epinephrine (one trial), budesonide (one trial), diuretics (two trials), fluid restriction (four trials), and non-invasive respiratory support (three trials). The quality of the included reviews was high, with all of them fulfilling the critical domains of the AMSTAR 2. The certainty of the evidence was very low for the primary outcomes, due to the imprecision of the estimates (few, small included studies) and unclear or high risk of bias. Salbutamol may reduce the duration of tachypnoea compared to placebo (mean difference (MD) -16.83 hours, 95% confidence interval (CI) -22.42 to -11.23, 2 studies, 120 infants, low certainty evidence). We did not identify any review that compared epinephrine or corticosteroids to placebo and reported on the duration of tachypnoea. However, one review reported on "trend of normalisation of respiratory rate", a similar outcome, and found no differences between epinephrine and placebo (effect size not reported). The evidence is very uncertain regarding the effect of diuretics compared to placebo (MD -1.28 hours, 95% CI -13.0 to 10.45, 2 studies, 100 infants, very low certainty evidence). We did not identify any review that compared fluid restriction to standard fluid rates and reported on the duration of tachypnoea. The evidence is very uncertain regarding the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compared to free-flow oxygen therapy (MD -21.1 hours, 95% CI -22.9 to -19.3, 1 study, 64 infants, very low certainty evidence); the effect of nasal high-frequency (oscillation) ventilation (NHFV) compared to CPAP (MD -4.53 hours, 95% CI -5.64 to -3.42, 1 study, 40 infants, very low certainty evidence); and the effect of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) compared to CPAP on duration of tachypnoea (MD 4.30 hours, 95% CI -19.14 to 27.74, 1 study, 40 infants, very low certainty evidence). Regarding the need for mechanical ventilation, the evidence is very uncertain for the effect of salbutamol compared to placebo (risk ratio (RR) 0.60, 95% CI 0.13 to 2.86, risk difference (RD) 10 fewer, 95% CI 50 fewer to 30 more per 1000, 3 studies, 254 infants, very low certainty evidence); the effect of epinephrine compared to placebo (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.08 to 5.88, RD 70 fewer, 95% CI 460 fewer to 320 more per 1000, 1 study, 20 infants, very low certainty evidence); and the effect of corticosteroids compared to placebo (RR 0.52, 95% CI 0.05 to 5.38, RD 40 fewer, 95% CI 170 fewer to 90 more per 1000, 1 study, 49 infants, very low certainty evidence). We did not identify a review that compared diuretics to placebo and reported on the need for mechanical ventilation. The evidence is very uncertain regarding the effect of fluid restriction compared to standard fluid administration (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.24 to 2.23, RD 20 fewer, 95% CI 70 fewer to 40 more per 1000, 3 studies, 242 infants, very low certainty evidence); the effect of CPAP compared to free-flow oxygen (RR 0.30, 95% CI 0.01 to 6.99, RD 30 fewer, 95% CI 120 fewer to 50 more per 1000, 1 study, 64 infants, very low certainty evidence); the effect of NIPPV compared to CPAP (RR 4.00, 95% CI 0.49 to 32.72, RD 150 more, 95% CI 50 fewer to 350 more per 1000, 1 study, 40 infants, very low certainty evidence); and the effect of NHFV versus CPAP (effect not estimable, 1 study, 40 infants, very low certainty evidence). Regarding our secondary outcomes, duration of hospital stay was the only outcome reported in all of the included reviews. One trial on fluid restriction reported a lower duration of hospitalisation in the restricted-fluids group, but with very low certainty of evidence. The evidence was very uncertain for the effects on secondary outcomes for the other five reviews. Data on potential harms were scarce, as all of the trials were underpowered to detect possible increases in adverse events such as pneumothorax, arrhythmias, and electrolyte imbalances. No adverse effects were reported for salbutamol; however, this medication is known to carry a risk of tachycardia, tremor, and hypokalaemia in other settings. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS This overview summarises the evidence from six Cochrane Reviews of randomised trials regarding the effects of postnatal interventions in the management of TTN. Salbutamol may reduce the duration of tachypnoea slightly. We are uncertain as to whether salbutamol reduces the need for mechanical ventilation. We are uncertain whether epinephrine, corticosteroids, diuretics, fluid restriction, or non-invasive respiratory support reduces the duration of tachypnoea and the need for mechanical ventilation, due to the extremely limited evidence available. Data on harms were lacking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We previously reported an increase in pneumothorax after implementing delivery room (DR) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for labored breathing or persistent cyanosis in ≥35-week gestational age (GA) neonates unexposed to DR-positive pressure ventilation (DR-PPV). We hypothesized that pneumothorax would decrease after de-implementing DR-CPAP in those unexposed to DR-PPV or DR-O2 supplementation (DR-PPV/O2). STUDY DESIGN In a retrospective cohort excluding DR-PPV the primary outcome was DR-CPAP-related pneumothorax (1st chest radiogram, 1st day of life). In a subgroup treated by the resuscitation team and admitted to the NICU, the primary outcome was DR-CPAP-associated pneumothorax (1st radiogram, no prior PPV) without DR-PPV/O2. RESULTS In the full cohort, occurrence of DR-CPAP-related pneumothorax decreased after the intervention (11.0% vs 6.0%, P < 0.001). In the subgroup, occurrence of DR-CPAP-associated pneumothorax decreased after the intervention (1.4% vs. 0.06%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The occurrence of CPAP-associated pneumothorax decreased after avoiding DR-CPAP in ≥35-week GA neonates without DR-PPV/O2.

Evaluating Clinical Outcomes and Physiological Perspectives in Studies Investigating Respiratory Support for Babies Born at Term With or at Risk of Transient Tachypnea: A Narrative Review. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:878536. [PMID: 35813383 PMCID: PMC9260080 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.878536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Respiratory distress in the first few hours of life is a growing disease burden in otherwise healthy babies born at term (>37 weeks gestation). Babies born by cesarean section without labor (i.e., elective cesarean section) are at greater risk of developing respiratory distress due to elevated airway liquid volumes at birth. These babies are commonly diagnosed with transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and historically treatments have mostly focused on enhancing airway liquid clearance pharmacologically or restricting fluid intake with limited success. Alternatively, a number of clinical studies have investigated the potential benefits of respiratory support in newborns with or at risk of TTN, but there is considerable heterogeneity in study designs and outcome measures. A literature search identified eight clinical studies investigating use of respiratory support on outcomes related to TTN in babies born at term. Study demographics including gestational age, mode of birth, antenatal corticosteroid exposure, TTN diagnosis, timing of intervention (prophylactic/interventional), respiratory support (type/interface/device/pressure), and study outcomes were compared. This narrative review provides an overview of factors within and between studies assessing respiratory support for preventing and/or treating TTN. In addition, we discuss the physiological understanding of how respiratory support aids lung function in newborns with elevated airway liquid volumes at birth. However, many questions remain regarding the timing of onset, pressure delivered, device/interface used and duration, and weaning of support. Future studies are required to address these gaps in knowledge to provide evidenced based recommendations for management of newborns with or at risk of TTN.

Abstract
Approximately 53% of near-term newborns admitted to intensive care experience respiratory distress. These newborns are commonly delivered by cesarean section and have elevated airway liquid volumes at birth, which can cause respiratory morbidity. We investigated the effect of providing respiratory support with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 8 cmH2O on lung function in newborn rabbit kittens with elevated airway liquid volumes at birth. Near-term rabbits (30 days; term = 32 days) with airway liquid volumes that corresponded to vaginal delivery (∼7 mL/kg, control, n = 11) or cesarean section [∼37 mL/kg; elevated liquid (EL), n = 11] were mechanically ventilated (tidal volume = 8 mL/kg). The PEEP was changed after lung aeration from 0 to 8 to 0 cmH2O (control, n = 6; EL, n = 6), and in a separate group of kittens, PEEP was changed after lung aeration from 8 to 0 to 8 cmH2O (control, n = 5; EL, n = 5). Lung function (ventilator parameters, compliance, lung gas volumes, and distribution of gas within the lung) was evaluated using plethysmography and synchrotron-based phase-contrast X-ray imaging. EL kittens initially receiving 0 cmH2O PEEP had reduced functional residual capacities and lung compliance, requiring higher inflation pressures to aerate the lung compared with control kittens. Commencing ventilation with 8 cmH2O PEEP mitigated the adverse effects of EL, increasing lung compliance, functional residual capacity, and the uniformity and distribution of lung aeration, but did not normalize aeration of the distal airways. Respiratory support with PEEP supports lung function in near-term newborn rabbits with elevated airway liquid volumes at birth who are at a greater risk of suffering respiratory distress.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Term babies born by cesarean section have elevated airway liquid volumes, which predisposes them to respiratory distress. Treatments targeting molecular mechanisms to clear lung liquid are ineffective for term newborn respiratory distress. We showed that respiratory support with an end-expiratory pressure supports lung function in near-term rabbits with elevated airway liquid volumes at birth. This study provides further physiological understanding of lung function in newborns with elevated airway liquid volumes at risk of respiratory distress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with nasal cannula (NC) as primary noninvasive respiratory therapy in hypoxic infants for transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of infants born at ≥34 weeks of gestation between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018. RESULT After adjusting for gestational age and birth weight, the maximum fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2) was significantly lower in the CPAP group with an incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 0.85 (95% CI: 0.76-0.96). Although nonsignificant, the CPAP group needed 32% fewer hours on oxygen with an IRR of 0.68 (95% CI: 0.38-1.22). The duration of respiratory support and the incidence of pneumothorax were similar between both groups. CONCLUSION Comparing CPAP with NC as initial noninvasive respiratory therapy for TTN, significantly lower maximum FiO2 was observed in the infants of CPAP group without increase in the incidence of pneumothorax.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristics and management of respiratory failure (RF) in moderate-to-late preterm infants. METHODS NEOBS was a prospective, multicenter, observational study conducted in 46 neonatal intensive care units caring for preterm infants (30+0/7 to 36+6/7 weeks of gestation [WG]) in France in 2018. The cohort was stratified into two groups: 30-33 WG (group 1) and 34-36 WG (group 2). Infants with early neonatal RF were included and the outcomes assessed were maternal, pregnancy, and delivery characteristics and how RF was managed. RESULTS Of the 560 infants analyzed, 279 were in group 1 and 281 were in group 2. Most pregnancies were singleton (64.1%), and 67.4% of women received prenatal corticosteroids (mostly two doses). Infants were delivered by cesarean section in 59.6% of cases; 91.7% of the infants had an Apgar score ≥7 at 5min. More than 90% of infants were hospitalized post-birth (median duration, 36 and 15 days for groups 1 and 2, respectively). Medical intervention was required for 95.7% and 90.4% of the infants in group 1 and group 2, respectively, and included noninvasive ventilation (continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP]: 88.5% and 82.9%; high-flow nasal cannula: 55.0% and 44.7%, or other) and invasive ventilation (19.7% and 13.2%). The two main diagnoses of RF were respiratory distress syndrome (39.8%) and transient tachypnea of the newborn (57.3%). Surfactant was administered to 22.5% of the infants, using the less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) method for 34.4% of the patients. In the overall population, 8.6% of the infants had respiratory and/or hemodynamic complications. CONCLUSIONS The NEOBS study demonstrated that CPAP was widely used in the delivery room and the LISA method was chosen for 34.4% of the surfactant administrations for the management of RF in moderate-to-late preterm infants. The incidence of RF-related complications was low.

Abstract
Transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN) results from failure of the newborn to effectively clear the fetal lung fluid soon after birth. TTN represents the most common etiology of respiratory distress in term gestation newborns and sometimes requires admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. TTN can lead to maternal-infant separation, the need for respiratory support, extended unnecessary exposure to antibiotics and prolonged hospital stays. Recent evidence also suggests that TTN may be associated with wheezing syndromes later in childhood. New imaging modalities such as lung ultrasound can help in the diagnosis of TTN and early management with distending pressure using continuous positive airway pressure may prevent exacerbation of respiratory distress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is characterized by tachypnea and signs of respiratory distress. Transient tachypnea typically appears within the first two hours of life in term and late preterm newborns. Supportive management might be sufficient. Non-invasive (i.e. without endotracheal intubation) respiratory support may, however, be administered to reduce respiratory distress during TTN. In addition, non-invasive respiratory support might improve clearance of lung liquid thus reducing the effort required to breathe, improving respiratory distress and potentially reducing the duration of tachypnea. OBJECTIVES To assess benefits and harms of non-invasive respiratory support for the management of transient tachypnea of the newborn. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2019, Issue 2), MEDLINE (1996 to 19 February 2019), Embase (1980 to 19 February 2019) and CINAHL (1982 to 19 February 2019). We applied no language restrictions. We searched clinical trial registries for ongoing studies. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomized controlled trials, quasi-randomized controlled trials and cluster trials on non-invasive respiratory support provided to infants born at 34 weeks' gestational age or more and less than three days of age with transient tachypnea of the newborn. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS For each of the included trials, two review authors independently extracted data (e.g. number of participants, birth weight, gestational age, duration of oxygen therapy, need for continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] and need for mechanical ventilation, duration of mechanical ventilation, etc.) and assessed the risk of bias (e.g. adequacy of randomization, blinding, completeness of follow-up). The primary outcomes considered in this review were need for mechanical ventilation and pneumothorax. We used the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS We included three trials (150 infants) comparing either CPAP to free-flow oxygen, nasal intermittent mandatory ventilation to nasal CPAP, or nasal high-frequency percussive ventilation versus nasal CPAP. Due to these different comparisons and to high clinical heterogeneity in the baseline clinical characteristics, we did not pool the three studies. The use of CPAP versus free oxygen did not improve the primary outcomes of this review: need for mechanical ventilation (risk ratio [RR] 0.30, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01 to 6.99; 1 study, 64 participants); and pneumothorax (not estimable, no cases occurred). Among secondary outcomes, CPAP reduced the duration of tachypnea as compared to free oxygen (mean difference [MD] -21.10 hours, 95% CI -22.92 to -19.28; 1 study, 64 participants). Nasal intermittent ventilation did not reduce the need for mechanical ventilation as compared with CPAP (RR 4.00, 95% CI 0.49 to 32.72; 1 study, 40 participants) or the incidence of pneumothorax (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.07 to 14.90; 1 study, 40 participants); duration of tachypnea did not differ (MD 4.30, 95% CI -19.14 to 27.74; 1 study, 40 participants). In the study comparing nasal high-frequency ventilation to CPAP, no cases of mechanical ventilation of pneumothorax occurred (not estimable; 1 study, 46 participants); duration of tachypnea was reduced in the nasal high-frequency ventilation group (MD -4.53, 95% CI -5.64 to -3.42; 1 study, 46 participants). The quality of the evidence was very low due to the imprecision of the estimates and unclear risk of bias for detection bias and high risk of bias for reporting bias. Tests for heterogeneity were not applicable for any of the analyses as no studies were pooled. Two trials are ongoing. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is insufficient evidence to establish the benefit and harms of non-invasive respiratory support in the management of transient tachypnea of the newborn. Though two of the included trials showed a shorter duration of tachypnea, clinically relevant outcomes did not differ amongst the groups. Given the limited and low quality of the evidence available, it was impossible to determine whether non-invasive respiratory support was safe or effective for the treatment of transient tachypnea of the newborn.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the best available evidence for interventions used to manage mild to moderate respiratory distress in late preterm and term infants experiencing delayed respiratory transition. DATA SOURCES EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Review, Joanna Briggs, PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar online databases were searched for articles related to delayed respiratory transition. Reference lists were reviewed to identify additional articles for inclusion. STUDY SELECTIONS Randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized prospective, prospective observational, and retrospective cohort studies published in English-language, peer-reviewed journals between 2007 and August 2017 were reviewed for inclusion. Studies were included if they examined respiratory focused interventions that could potentially prevent admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the term or late preterm infant transitioning to extrauterine life. DATA EXTRACTION The CASP tools were utilized for appraisal of individual studies. Data were extracted from the 5 studies included in this review. DATA SYNTHESIS In 4 of the 5 studies, prevention of NICU admission was the primary aim. The observational study observed videos of newborn resuscitations and described the effect of early intervention with continuous positive-airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation on prevention of NICU admission for respiratory distress. One randomized controlled trial used adrenaline injections to prevent development of respiratory distress. The 3 remaining randomized controlled trials used prophylactic CPAP or sustained inflation as a method for preventing development of delayed respiratory transition. Three of the 5 studies focused exclusively on cesarean born infants. Among the interventions studied, early or prophylactic CPAP shows the most promise for prevention of NICU admission in late preterm and term infants with mild to moderate respiratory distress. CONCLUSION The lack of safety and efficacy data for either adrenaline injections or prophylactic CPAP precludes either method for current use in the prevention of respiratory distress for the late preterm or term infant transitioning to extrauterine life. Two randomized trials, both using prophylactic CPAP, had a significant decrease in NICU admissions. Both studies were conducted at a single center and exclusive to infants born by cesarean delivery. A single study using sustained lung inflation showed no significant difference in the need for respiratory support or NICU admission. A single study using adrenaline also showed no benefit to the prevention of respiratory distress related to transition. Further multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed before broad adoption of early or prophylactic CPAP can be recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2011, the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) added consideration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for spontaneously breathing infants with labored breathing or hypoxia in the delivery room (DR). The objective of this study was to determine if DR-CPAP is associated with symptomatic pneumothorax in infants 35 to 42 weeks' gestational age. METHODS We included (1) a retrospective birth cohort study of neonates born between 2001 and 2015 and (2) a nested cohort of those born between 2005 and 2015 who had a resuscitation call leading to admission to the NICU and did not receive positive-pressure ventilation. RESULTS In the birth cohort (n = 200 381), pneumothorax increased after implementation of the 2011 NRP from 0.4% to 0.6% (P < .05). In the nested cohort (n = 6913), DR-CPAP increased linearly over time (r = 0.71; P = .01). Administration of DR-CPAP was associated with pneumothorax (odds ratio [OR]: 5.5; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.4-6.8); the OR was higher (P < .001) in infants receiving 21% oxygen (OR: 8.5; 95% CI: 5.9-12.3; P < .001) than in those receiving oxygen supplementation (OR: 3.5; 95% CI: 2.5-5.0; P < .001). Among those with DR-CPAP, pneumothorax increased with gestational age and decreased with oxygen administration. CONCLUSIONS The use of DR-CPAP is associated with increased odds of pneumothorax in late-preterm and term infants, especially in those who do not receive oxygen in the DR. These findings could be used to clarify NRP guidelines regarding DR-CPAP in late-preterm and term infants.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP), a noninvasive respiratory support modality used to manage newborns with respiratory distress, provides continuous pressure that helps prevent derecruitment of alveoli, increasing the lungs' functional residual capacity, and thus decreasing the work of breathing. bCPAP can be used to manage various respiratory conditions in the newborn. In this prospective study, we describe our experience using bCPAP therapy as the primary respiratory support in a level III neonatal unit in Amman, Jordan. In addition to reporting therapeutic indications, durations, and side effects, we aimed to identify areas requiring improvement in bCPAP therapy in our population. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective observational study investigated the usage of bCPAP in the management of respiratory distress in newborns admitted to a Jordan University Hospital in Amman. The newborns were followed until discharge. The patients' demographic and clinical data were recorded. RESULTS A total of 143 babies (mean gestational age, 36±2.7 weeks; mean birth weight, 2,770±1,800 g) were included. All received bCPAP as the primary respiratory support. The most common underlying cause of respiratory distress was transient tachypnea of the newborn (42%), followed by prolonged respiratory transition (34%). The therapy success rate was 93.7%; only nine infants failed bCPAP. The most common side effect was physical facial injury. CONCLUSION The use of neonatal bCPAP therapy is well established in Jordan University Hospital. The area of potential improvement was the low rate of bCPAP use as a primary respiratory support in extremely premature infants.
