Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the relationship between the isolation of NCPAP at 3 and 5 cm H2O pressure with the incidence of BPD in infants admitted to the NICU department with less than 32 weeks and less or equal birth weight of 1500 grams.
Design
This study is a one-blind clinical trial with parallel groups and randomized sampling using dual randomized blocks on 206 patients.
Settings and conduct
All premature infants with gestational age less than or equal to 32 weeks and birth weight less than or equal to 1500 grams in Shahid Beheshti and Al-Zahra hospitals after receiving the code of ethics if they have inclusion criteria and after obtaining written consent from Parenting and confirmation by the neonatal specialist are included in the study and connected to the NCPAP device, and in case of stable clinical condition, the process of isolation from NCPAP begins.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-Inclusion criteria All premature infants with gestational age less or equal than 32 weeks and less or equal birth weight of 1500 grams and Apgar score more than 4 in 5 minutes of birth, which received NCPAP recipient for at least 24 hours immediately after birth with RDS. -Exclusion criteria: CHD, IVH, Need surgery, Major anomalies, Need to be sent to other medical centers, Receive NCPAP in less than 24 hours, Apgar score less than 4 in 5 minutes of birth, Asphyxia, Craniofacial abnormalities.
Intervention groups
The study groups based on the method of isolation from NCPAP include the isolation group from NCPAP by Sudden Stopping method (SS group) and the isolation group by Gradual Pressure method (GP group).
Main outcome variables
Reducing the incidence of BPD and its complications in premature infants and reducing the costs imposed on the health system and infants' families.

Intervention groups

1

Description
In infants in the intervention group who are under CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) if the clinical condition is stable at 5CmH2O, the CPAP pressure is reduced by one every 12 hours to 3CmH2O and then the infant is removed from the device and if necessary , Receive oxygen supplementation with hood with flow of 10 Lit / min. If SPO2 is tolerated and maintained between 91-95% in room air for at least four hours, no oxygen supplementation is required.

Description
Infants in the control group under CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) are isolated from the device if they have stable clinical conditions at 5CmH2O pressure and, if necessary, receive supplemental oxygen by oxyhood method with a flow rate of 10 Lit / min. If SPO2 is tolerated and maintained between 95-91% in room air for at least 4 hours, no oxygen supplementation is required.
