Study aim
-
The aim of this study is to compare Ventolin nebulizer with supportive treatment in transient respiratory rate of newborns and different intensities of their respiratory distress
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 0 on 60 patients randomized by Stratified Permuted Block Randomization method with blocks of 4
-
Settings and conduct
-
This double-blind randomized clinical trial is conducted in infants with TTN hospitalized in the NICU of Imam and Boali Hospitals of Sari. Patients are randomly selected by the Stratified Permuted Block Randomization method with blocks of 4 and divided into two intervention and control groups in parallel. Patients and nurses will not know about the allocation of patients to study groups.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Neonates with gestational age >34 weeks who meet the criteria for TTN are included in the study. In case of meconium aspiration, pneumonia, complex Coronary heart disease (CHD), Tachycardia above 180, Silverman Anderson score less than 46, Ventilator therapy since birth, diagnosis of RDS during hospitalization and administration of surfactant, they are excluded.
-
Intervention groups
-
In the intervention group, 0.1 mL of salbutamol (Ventolin, salbutamol sulfate 5 mg/mL) is nebulized in 3 mL of 0.9% normal saline. The standard dose of salbutamol is 0.15 mg/kg/dose. It will be nebulized every day with a jet-type nebulizer with a continuous oxygen flow of 5 liters per minute during a 10-minute period and every 6 hours for a day.
In the control group, they will receive 2 mL of 0.9% saline as a nebulizer.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Primary outcomes: duration of initial CPAP and oxygen therapy; O2 and CO2 after nebulizer; Hospitalization days; Time to start feeding based on Silverman Anderson score l<4; stabilization of heart rate, breathing and Spo2; Absence of abdominal distension
