Protocol summary

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

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Allocation of patients into two treatment groups will be by Stratified Permuted Block Randomization method with blocks of 4. First the patients are divided into two groups based on the severity of TTN, then in each group, using Block Randomization, the patients will receive one of the interventions. To generate random allocation, the sealed envelope site was used, which created the a random table with the code 105487821465911 for us, which shows how patients enter the two intervention groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The nurse and the study participants do not know who is in which group. Placebo and drug have the same color and shape in appearance and are coded by the researcher and each patient will be given a drug code. Then the mediation is given to the nurse and nebulized.
