MATERIALS AND METHODS

TITLE- caffeine to decrease oxygen support duration in moderate and late preterm- a randomized control trial

TYPE OF STUDY- Randomized Controlled Trial

STUDY AREA- Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Neotia Getwel Multispeciality Hospital

STUDY PERIOD – 1 Year

STUDY POPULATION- all the neonates between 32 -36+6 weeks getting admitted in NICU between the study period              

  INCLUSION CRITERIA

  1. PMA:   320/7-36 6/7 weeks & PNA <14 days
  2. Requiring  respiratory support (NPO2,NCPAP,HHHFNC,NIV) for >6 hours post birth.

  EXCLUSION CRITERIA

  1. Major congenital abnormality
  2. Renal or hepatic failure
  3. Arrythmias
  4. Babies requiring invasive MV within < 6 hrs
  5. Caffeine received previously within 48 hours

METHODOLOGY:

Baby parents were counselled about the study and it’s purpose. Proper consent has  to be taken.

total number of patients will be divided (after all inclusion and exclusion criterias are met) into  group ‘A’ and ‘B’.

Group ’A’ will be given 20 mg/kg (as loading dose) caffeine citrate followed by 10mg/kg  (as maintainance dose) till baby comes out of  O2 support.

Group’B’ will be given standard care and caffeine citrate to be considered only when they develop apnea of prematurity or baby requires invasive ventilation.

Both group’A’ and group’B’ babies will be monitored on the  basis of following parameters and will be followed up till 44 wks PMA

    1.Intermittent hypoxia  Episodes per 24 Hrs.

    2.Duration Of Oxygen Support.

    3.Any Complication Of Respiratory Support (Pneumothorax, Shock).

    4.Side Effect Of Caffeine Therapy.

    5.Feed Intolerance.

    6.Interruption Of Feeding For 12 Hours.

    7.Gestation Age For Discharge (Off Respiratory Support >48hrs, Gaining Weight Adequately, taking full feed by KS/ bottle,  Mother Confident, No Major Morbidity).

     8.Prevalance Of Re hospitalization before 44 Week Post Menstrual Age (PMA).
