Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To determine if nasal high-frequency percussive ventilation (nHFPV) to manage neonatal respiratory distress decreases the regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2 ) compared to nasal continous positive airway pressure (nCPAP).
STUDY DESIGN
A prospective, randomized, monocentric, open-label, noninferiority crossover trial. Newborns of gestational age (GA) ≥ 33 weeks exhibiting persistent respiratory distress after 10 minutes of life were treated with nHFPV and nCPAP, in succession and in random order. The primary endpoint was the mean rScO2 , as revealed by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
RESULTS
Forty-nine newborns were randomized; the mean GA and birth weight was 36.4 ± 1.9 weeks and 2718 ± 497 g. The mean rScO2 difference during the last 5 minutes of each ventilation mode (nHFPV minus nCPAP) was -0.7 ± 5.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) -2.25; 0.95%).
CONCLUSION
In our study on newborns of GA ≥33 weeks treated for respiratory distress, cerebral oxygenation via nHFPV was not inferior to nCPAP.
