About
The goal of this study is to Detect and Screen different nasal complications of using CPAP in neonates and infants and reach a consensus about minimizing nasal problems of CPAP in neonates and infants
Full description
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a means of providing respiratory support to neonates with either upper airway obstruction or respiratory failure. Respiratory failure constitutes either failure of ventilation or failure of lung function.
Nasal CPAP can be delivered through various devices, of which a nasal mask and binasal prongs are the most commonly used. However, earlier studies have described the development of Pressure Injuries (PI) on the nasal skin caused by these nCPAP devices
Nasal complications of nasal CPAP vary from external nasal complications such as columellar hyperemia, columellar necrosis to intranasal complications such as intranasal ulceration, granulation, vestibular stenosis and intranasal synechiae
