Aim: To determine the hemodynamic patterns in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) using the USCOM-1A technology. Materials and Methods: The USCOM device is a bedside method of evaluating cardiac output (CO) based on continuous-wave Doppler ultrasound. Hemodynamic parameters were measured daily for 7 days in 32 preterm neonates 32 ± 1 weeks of gestation (1688 ± 111 g) with RDS requiring noninvasive respiratory support (NCPAP, NIPPV, HFNC) and no catecholamine support in comparison with 28 healthy term neonates (3100 ± 690 g). Results: At day 1, preterm neonates had lower SVI (18 ± 5 vs 28 ± 8 ml m-2, p = 0.043) and higher SVRI (1585 ± 245 vs 1035 ± 358 dyn s cm-5 m2, p = 0.013) with a tendency for lower cardiac index (2.6 ± 0.8 vs 4.0 ± 1.3 l min-1 m-2, p = 0.089). Together with no difference in SMII, it indicates the presence of diastolic dysfunction with low preload. It is noted that all parameters had not changed by day 7 in preterm neonates, whereas term neonates demonstrated significantly increased SMII reflecting postnatal cardiovascular adaptation. Compared with preterm neonates with RDS requiring NCPAP/NIPPV, preterm neonates requiring HFNC had higher levels of FTc (330 ± 59 vs 388 ± 41 ms, р = 0.045), SVI (13 ± 3 vs 18 ± 4, ml/m2, р = 0.007), SMII (0.41 ± 0.09 vs 0.57 ± 0.21, р = 0.02), and CI (2.2 ± 0.6 vs 4.5 ± 0.9 l/min/m2, р = 0.006). Conclusions:Noninvasive respiratory support in preterm neonates with RDS may lead to diastolic dysfunction that is less prominent in neonates with HFNC.

Objective:To evaluate the outcome of early nasal CPAPin premature neonates with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Methods: 100 babies of 28-34 weeks gestational age admitted in Neonatal ICU of Nalanda Medical College & Hospital, Patna (Bihar, India), with clinical diagnosis of HMD, requiring respiratory support were treated with early nasal CPAPand studied prospectively from 1st November 2014 to 31st October 2016. Results: We found a success rate of 80% in babies with HMD, who were managed with early nasal CPAPalone. Remaining 20% needed intubation and higher mode of ventilation. Mild and moderate grade HMD were effectively managed with early nasal CPAP (P<0.05). It was also found to be effective in babies of mothers who have received antenatal steroids (P<0.05). Conclusion: Prematurity is the commonest predisposing cause for HMD. Early nasal CPAPis safe, inexpensive and effective means of respiratory support in HMD. It is useful in mild and moderate grade disease. It may not be a replacement for assisted ventilation in severe disease. It is also found to be more effective in babies of mothers who have received antenatal steroids.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a serious illness with significant morbidity and mortality, characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure most commonly due to pneumonia, sepsis, and aspiration. Early and accurate diagnosis of ARDS depends upon clinical suspicion and chest imaging. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an important novel cause of ARDS with a distinct time course, imaging and laboratory features from the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection to hypoxemic respiratory failure, which may allow diagnosis and management prior to or at earlier stages of ARDS. Treatment of ARDS remains largely supportive, and consists of incremental respiratory support (high flow nasal oxygen, non-invasive respiratory support, and invasive mechanical ventilation), and avoidance of iatrogenic complications, all of which improve clinical outcomes. COVID-19-associated ARDS is largely similar to other causes of ARDS with respect to pathology and respiratory physiology, and as such, COVID-19 patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure should typically be managed as other patients with ARDS. Non-invasive respiratory support may be beneficial in avoiding intubation in COVID-19 respiratory failure including mild ARDS, especially under conditions of resource constraints or to avoid overwhelming critical care resources. Compared to other causes of ARDS, medical therapies may improve outcomes in COVID-19-associated ARDS, such as dexamethasone and remdesivir. Future improved clinical outcomes in ARDS of all causes depends upon individual patient physiological and biological endotyping in order to improve accuracy and timeliness of diagnosis as well as optimal targeting of future therapies in the right patient at the right time in their disease.

The article analyzes literature data on modern methods of non-invasive respiratory support for premature newborns with respiratory distress syndrome. The article describes positive and negative aspects of the contemporary methods and devices of non-invasive lung ventilation widely used as a starting method of respiratory therapy in obstetrics units of any level, including children with extremely and very low birth weight. The choice of the device and management tactics often depends on the facilities and financial situation of medical units as well as on the experience of medical professionals using specialized equipment.

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) of the newborn, also known as Hyaline Membrane Disease, is a breathing disorder of premature babies. In healthy infants, the alveoli—the small, air-exchanging sacs of the lungs—are coated by surfactant, which is a soap-like material produced in the lungs as the fetus matures in preparation for birth. If premature newborns have not yet produced enough surfactant, they are unable to open their lungs fully to breathe. As the efforts, our hospital is to deliver health services in a best manner to have high quality of service delivery and a low number of mortality, although the RDS is high in Afghanistan, and there is no any reliable data, which show major causes death during in-bed hospitalization. Gradually increment of mortality rate of Respiratory Distress Syndrome at French Medical Institute for Mother and Children, based on observational and unreliable accurate data, is higher among preterm neonates versus term neonates. We are going to have a retrospective study, which will be the first study in Afghanistan in such area.
