Trends in the Incidence of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia after the Introduction of Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study investigates the difference in the rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very low birth weight infants before and after the introduction of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA).

Study design

A retrospective cohort study comparing rates of Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) before and after implementation of NAVA. Eligibility criteria included all very low birth weight VLBW neonates needing ventilation. For analysis, each cohort was divided into three subgroups based on gestational age. Changes in the rate of BPD, length of stay, tracheostomy rates, invasive ventilator days, and home oxygen therapy were compared.

Results

There were no differences in the incidence of BPD in neonates at 23-25 6/7 weeks' and 29-32 weeks' gestation between the tw
