against each standard was measured, with subgroup analysis by gestation. Results When transferring preterm babies to the neonatal unit who required respiratory support, CPAP was appropriate and used in all cases (100% compliance). LISA (less invasive surfactant administration) was introduced part way through the data collection period in 2019 and used in 2 out of 8 eligible babies (25% compliance) (see quality statement 2, figure 1). Invasive ventilation was always synchronised (100%), however volume-targeted ventilation in combination with synchronised ventilation was used in only 2 out of 12 eligible babies (16.7% compliance). Target oxygen saturation ranges were not routinely documented in the notes and therefore compliance was not calculatable. Parent involvement in day-to-day care was documented in 87% of the medical notes. The incidence of pneumothorax was 2.4% involving 2 babies born between 32 and 36+6 weeks, both requiring treatment for this. The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia was diagnosed in 4 babies, who were all born before 32 weeks gestation and still required a form of respiratory support at 36 weeks gestation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
