Objective:
Delivery room (DR) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is increasing. Our study examined the risk for neonatal morbidities after DR CPAP in 35 week neonates.
Study Design:
A retrospective study of 259 infants born at 35 weeks gestational age between January 1, 2017-December 31, 2018 at a single center.
Results:
DR resuscitation was administered in 30.5%, with 19.7% receiving CPAP alone. Eighty percent who received DR CPAP were admitted to the NICU. DR CPAP was associated with the highest NICU admission risk, 9.3 times the risk of those without DR positive pressure, and with respiratory conditions (RDS: OR 4.22 {CI 1.46-11.51}, TTN: OR 3.30 {CI 1.36-7.64}). For the DR CPAP group, non-invasive positive pressure was administered post resuscitation in 90%.
Conclusions:
In our institution, 35 week infants frequently received DR CPAP. Of these infants, a majority were admitted to the NICU for respiratory disorders.
