Summary

The investigators hypothesize that the Humidified High Flow Nasal Cannula(HHFNC) is effective and safe as primary respiratory support in neonate with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS). It is more convenient in HHFNC combined with kangaroo care.

Detailed description

Today a new nursing principle proposed that is kangaroo care in neonate.Many study showed kangaroo care may reduce pain、decrease the respiratory and heart rate among preterm infant.The recently study show it benefit to Physical Growth and Neurodevelopment. Respiratory failure remains a common problem in the neonatal intensive unit. As reported that early non-invasive ventilation is accompanied by significant improvement in subsequent lung development and alveolation.Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP)、nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation(NIPPV) and humidified high flow via nasal cannulas(HHFNC) are non-invasive ventilation models.But Unfortunately, NIPPV and NCPAP systems are not always easily applied or tolerated in the preterm infants.So it is not convenient in kangaroo care.Recently A meta analysis concluded that NIPPV is more effective than NCPAP in preterms respiratory diseases.Maybe the investigators can reason that NIPPV is effective than HHFNC,but there is limited data about the comparison of NIPPV and HHFNC as primary respiratory support in neonate. The NIPPV group fail definition：1、FiO2\>40%、MAP\>10 centimeter water column (cm H2O),but SaO2\<90%.2、significant abdominal distension.3、PaCO2\>60 millimeter of mercury (mmHg)or partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2)\<45mmHg.4、severe apnea( definition:\>6 episodes requiring stimulation in 6 hours or requiring \>1 episodes of positive-pressure ventilation) 5.potential of hydrogen (PH)\<7.2 The HHFNC group fail definition：1、FiO2\>40%、flow\>8 (litre,L)/min,but SaO2\<90%.2、significant abdominal distension.3、PaCO2\>60mmHg or PaO2\<45mmHg.4、severe apnea 5.PH\<7.2

Conditions

• Respiratory Insufficiency

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	NIPPV	For infants in the NIPPV-group who "fail"NIPPV (see definition below), need immediate intubation, a invasive "Rescue-Treatment" may be provided. The decision to attempt "Rescue-Treatment", the mode of respiratory support and the ventilator settings used are at the discretion of the attending clinician.
DEVICE	HHFNC	For infants in the HHFNC-group who "fail"HHFNC (see definition below), need immediate intubation, a invasive "Rescue-Treatment" may be provided. The decision to attempt "Rescue-Treatment", the mode of respiratory support and the ventilator settings used are at the discretion of the attending clinician.
