Abstract
Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to study the Outcome of Indigenous cpap in newborns with Respiratory Distress. This study was carried out using indigenously designed nasal CPAP circuit. It consists of three major components, a continuous oxygen flow into the circuit, an expiratory limb to create positive end expiratory pressure which is immersed into water and the nasal prong which connect neonatal airway to circuit. Results: Among the neonates with respiratory distress who needed CPAP support 51(17%) had RDS, 96(32%) had Pneumonia and 39(13%) had PPHN. Outcome of CPAP of the study patients, it was observed that out of 108 patient more than three fourth (78.7%) patients were found successfully weaned and 23(21.3%) were failed. Conclusion: It is concluded from this study that CPAP is an effective way of management of neonates with respiratory distress due to various causes. Mortality was highest in patients who didn’t improve on CPAP.
