Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  CPAP  Late pre-term (34 weeks 0/7 days to 36 weeks 6/7 days of gestation) and term neonates (37 weeks 0/7 days to 41 weeks 6/7 days of gestation) with mild respiratory distress at birth, defined as Silverman-Andersson score of 1-3 will be included in the study. The neonates will be randomized into two groups at 10 to minutes of life. The second group will receive CPAP support. The neonates will be monitored every 15 minutes for first 1 hour. At 1 hour of life, neonate having any distress defined as Silverman-Andersson score ≥1 or requirement of supplemental oxygen will be admitted to NICU. In the NICU the respiratory support will be hiked in case of any increase in respiratory distress. Supplemental oxygen will be provided in case of hypoxia defined as oxygen saturation less than 91%. The respiratory support will be removed after resolution of respiratory distress (Silverman-Andersson score of 0) and the oxygen saturation is in normal range (more than equal to 91%) in absence of supplemental oxygen. The neonate will be considered off respiratory support if there will be no further requirement of CPAP support/supplemental oxygen for 24 hours after removal of respiratory support.  
Intervention  No-CPAP  Late pre-term (34 weeks 0/7 days to 36 weeks 6/7 days of gestation) and term neonates (37 weeks 0/7 days to 41 weeks 6/7 days of gestation) with mild respiratory distress at birth, defined as Silverman-Andersson score of 1-3 will be included in the study. The neonates will be randomized into two groups at 10 to 15 minutes of life. The first group will receive No-CPAP support. The neonates will be monitored every 15 minutes for first 1 hour. At 1 hour of life, neonate having any distress defined as Silverman-Andersson score ≥1 or requirement of supplemental oxygen will be admitted to NICU. In the NICU the respiratory support will be hiked in case of any increase in respiratory distress. Supplemental oxygen will be provided in case of hypoxia defined as oxygen saturation less than 91%. The respiratory support will be removed after resolution of respiratory distress (Silverman-Andersson score of 0) and the oxygen saturation is in normal range (more than equal to 91%) in absence of supplemental oxygen. The neonate will be considered off respiratory support if there will be no further requirement of CPAP support/supplemental oxygen for 24 hours after removal of respiratory support.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To determine the duration of respiratory support in late-preterm and term neonates with mild respiratory distress, managed with No-CPAP vs. CPAP in the delivery room at birth  From institution to removal of respiratory support 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Need for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission  From randomization to decision for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission 
Escalation of respiratory support   From randomization to shifting out of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) 
Incidence of air leak e.g. pneumothorax  From randomization to discharge from hospital 
Duration of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay  Total duration of NICU stay calculated from NICU admission to shifting out of NICU  
Duration of hospital stay  Total duration of hospital stay calculated from day of birth to the day of hospital discharge

Brief Summary  

Late pre-term (34 weeks, 0/7 days to 36 weeks, 6/7 days of gestation) and term neonates (37 weeks 0/7 days to 41 weeks 6/7 days of gestation) with mild respiratory distress defined as Silverman-Andersson score of 1-3 will be included in the study. The neonates will be randomized into two groups at 10 to 15 minutes of life. The first group will receive No-CPAP support and the second group will receive CPAP support. The positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) will be applied at 5 cm of water (in CPAP group only) to begin with. The neonates will be monitored every 15 minutes for first 1 hour. At 1 hour of life, neonate from both the groups having any distress defined as Silverman-Andersson score ≥1 or requirement of supplemental oxygen will be admitted to NICU.

If any neonate at or earlier than 1 hour of life will have respiratory deterioration, with Silverman-Andersson score of ≥4, will be admitted to NICU and managed according to protocol.

In the NICU the respiratory support will be hiked in case of any increase in respiratory distress. Supplemental oxygen will be provided in case of hypoxia. The respiratory support will be removed after resolution of respiratory distress (Silverman-Andersson score of 0) and oxygen saturation is in normal range (≥ 91%) in absence of supplemental oxygen. The neonate will be considered off respiratory support if there will be no further requirement of CPAP support or supplemental oxygen for 24 hours after removal of respiratory support.
