Abstract
The primary determinants of the country's health are the rates of neonatal and perinatal death. Neonatal and perinatal death rates are 3‐5 and 8‐9 per 1000 live births, respectively, in wealthy nations. In India, neonatal and perinatal mortality rates remain high despite notable advancements in metropolitan regions. To study the clinical profile and outcome of non‐invasive ventilation using bubble continuous positive airway pressure in neonates with respiratory distress in a tertiary care centre. The Study design was Prospective study. Study period from November 2018 to October 2019 and total sample size: 100. In Survived group, 5 patients had Respiratory distress syndrome, 25 patients had Birth asphyxia, 15 patients had Meconium aspiration syndrome and 5 patients had congenital pneumonia. In Mechanical ventilation, 10 patients had Respiratory distress syndrome, 10 patients had Birth asphyxia, 20 patients had Meconium aspiration syndrome and 10 patients had congenital pneumonia. Association of Diagnosis with Outcome was statistically significant (p=0.0149). We concluded that CPAP is one of the best methods of treatment in neonates with respiratory distress. It is highly beneficial among preterm neonates especially less than 34 weeks who were the major victims for lung immaturity. Neonates diagnosed to have Respiratory Distress Syndrome recovered more with usage of non‐invasive ventilation like Bubble CPAP.
