Effect of multiple INSURE procedures in extremely preterm infants.
Journal of Maternal-fetal & Neonatal Medicine 2011 December
OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to evaluate whether single and multiple intubation-surfactant-extubation (INSURE) procedures have similar effects on the need of mechanical ventilation (MV) and occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in extremely preterm infants.
METHODS: We studied infants of <30 weeks of gestation with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) who were treated with single (FiO(2)>0.30 without need of MV) or multiple (FiO(2)>0.40 without need of MV) INSURE procedures.
RESULTS: Seventy-five infants were studied: 53 (71%) received single INSURE and 22 (29%) received multiple INSURE procedures. Infants in the single and multiple groups had similar rates of need of MV (15 vs. 23%) and occurrence of BPD (9 vs. 9%), although the latter were more immature and affected by more severe RDS (higher FiO(2), lower a/ApO(2), and pO(2)/FiO(2)) than the former.
CONCLUSIONS: Single and multiple INSURE procedures were followed by similar respiratory outcome in a cohort of extremely preterm infants. Further studies are warranted to evaluate whether the multiple INSURE strategy enhances the success rate of INSURE in preventing the need of MV and the occurrence of BPD.
