Abstract Objective: To compare bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and head box oxygen in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in terms of frequency of successful weaning. Methodology: A quasi experimental study conducted at The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Kahuta Research Laboratory Hospital, Islamabad from January 2019 to January 2020. A total of 100 (50 in each group) preterm neonates having RDS were randomly distributed in two groups. Group-A neonates received respiratory support via head box and Group-B received support via bubble CPAP. Clinical course was assessed as shifting of baby from bubble CPAP to mechanical ventilation or successful weaning. Results: In a total of 100 neonates (50 in each group), 46 (46.0%) were male and 52 (52.0%) females. Mean age in Group-A and Group-B was 32±2.8 weeks and 33±3.12 weeks, respectively. In Group-A (head box), 21 (42.0%) neonates had successful weaning while in Group-B (bubble CPAP) 39 (78.0%) had successful weaning (p=0.0002). Conclusion: Preterm neonates with RDS on bubble CPAP wean off earlier than those preterm neonates with RDS on head box oxygen. Key words: Continuous positive airway pressure, headbox oxygen, preterm, neonate, respiratory distress syndrome.   ARTICLE TOOLS Abstract PDF Fulltext How to cite this article Citation Tools Related Records   Articles by Annam Asif Articles by Ammara Ayub Articles by Sajid Ali Shah Articles by Sugra Wahid Articles by Saeed Zaman Articles by Lutfullah Goheer on Google on Google Scholar How to Cite this Article Pubmed Style Asif A, Ayub A, Shah SA, Wahid S, Zaman S, Goheer L.
