Abstract
Objective: Study of clinical profile of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in preterm babies. Design: Prospective observational study. Settings: Neonatal Intensive Care unit at tertiary care hospital. Outcome measures: To study role of antenatal steroid, surfactant and assisted ventilation in RDS and outcome in terms of morbidity and mortality in preterms with RDS. Results: 150 neonates with gestational age <37wk with diagnosed as RDS as per clinical investigational guidelines were included.97.3% babies received antenatal steroid while 2.7% did not. Out of the babies who received antenatal steroid 80% survived and 20% died. All (100%) who did not receive antenatal steroid died. Out of them 57.3% received surfactant and 42.7% did not receive. Out of babies who received surfactant 88% survived 12% died. Out of babies who did not receive surfactant 64% survived 36% died. All babies (100%) receiving only CPAP (SA score <4) survived. Out of babies receiving both CPAP and surfactant (SA score 4–7) 98.6% survived and 1.4% died. All babies receiving only assisted ventilation for >10 days died. Morbidity in RDS was sepsis 14.66%, PDA 14%, NEC 8.66% and pulmonary hemorrhage 5.33%. At the end of study 118 (78.66%) babies survived while 32(21.33%) died. Conclusion: We conclude that administration of antenatal steroids in pregnant women during preterm delivery significantly improves lung maturity. CPAP was safe and effective treatment modality. Early institution of CPAP reduced need of ventilation. Early use of surfactant improved the survival and shortened duration of assisted ventilation.
