(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-05-19) Albitrez Abanto, Veronica Patricia; Campos Carhuas, Rebeca; Rivera Lozada De Bonilla, Oriana
The present research work is based on the review of 10 articles, 80% (8/10) articles show that the early use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in premature babies without apnea is a valid strategy. , to the extent that in more than 80% of cases it provides sufficient treatment and of shorter duration than that required if mechanical ventilation were immediately applied, which also reduces the risk of lung injury associated with this assistance respiratory. This means that in a very good part of these patients the problem is resolved with less exposure to oxygen, avoiding the consequences of mechanical ventilation, consequently reducing the incidence of central nervous system hemorrhage, sepsis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, without increasing the risk of pneumothorax. Concluding that the early use of CPAP is a safe, low-cost method and an effective therapy in premature neonates with respiratory difficulty. It reduces in-hospital morbidity and mortality, reduces the incidence of complications, such as Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, and is an alternative to routine intubation and the need for mechanical ventilation.
