Sustained lung inflation

Control

Arm Description

Participants in this arm (n=80) received: Sustained lung inflation (SLI) manoeuvre(s) was applied once or twice, based on the protocol algorithm. Within the first 60 seconds of life, assessment for the need of advanced resuscitation (defined as the need for more than oxygen and tactile stimulation during resuscitation) was done; Infants who needed advanced resuscitation were considered to receive SLI as a rescue approach. Infants who needed only oxygen and tactile stimulation were considered to receive SLI as a prophylactic approach. Then Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) was given through an ETT, if intubation was needed.

Participants in this arm (n=80) received: Resuscitation according to the American academy of pediatrics guidelines. Then Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) was given through an ETT, if intubation was needed.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Need for invasive mechanical ventilation or death
Treatment failure; defined as the need for intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation or death

Secondary Outcome Measures

Duration of invasive mechanical ventilation
The duration of intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (in days)
Pneumothorax
Pneumothorax, documented by radiological findings
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, defined as the need for more than 21% oxygen for at least 28 days

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a randomized controlled study to investigate the effect of application of sustained lung inflation (SLI) at birth on the respiratory outcome of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.
Detailed Description
Enrolled infants (n=160) were randomized before birth into 2 groups (intervention and control group) in a ratio 1:1. Randomization was done through an online randomizer (www.graphpad.com), and sealed envelopes were used to assign the infant to one of the two groups.
