Trial of Weaning of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
Randomized Controlled Trial of Gradual Versus Sudden Weaning From Nasal CPAP in Preterm Neonates

To compare the 2 methods of weaning of nasal CPAP in premature babies born at 32 weeks or less

Objective: To study the weight and the post menstrual age (PMA) at the time of nasal CPAP (NCPAP) wean utilizing the method of sudden wean as compared to gradual wean. . Methods: A prospective randomized trial was conducted comparing sudden weaning with gradual weaning from NCPAP in neonates with gestational age (GA) <32 weeks. The patients were randomized to one of the two methods of weaning from NCPAP and their success was compared.

Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Preterm Neonates
Procedure: Gradual weaning from Nasal CPAP in preterm neonates
Nasal CPAP for gradual wean group it was cycled off for 3 hours alternating with 3 hours on for first 48 hours, if successful the cycle was extended to 6 hours off and 3 hours on for the next 48 hours. If the baby tolerated this regime the prongs were removed and CPAP was kept off.
Other Names:
  • Nasal CPAP
  • Weaning
  • Preterm neonates
  • Active Comparator: Gradual wean from Nasal CPAP
    Nasal CPAP for gradual wean group it was cycled off for 3 hours alternating with 3 hours on for first 48 hours, if successful the cycle was extended to 6 hours off and 3 hours on for the next 48 hours. If the baby tolerated this regime the prongs were removed and CPAP was kept off.
    Intervention: Procedure: Gradual weaning from Nasal CPAP in preterm neonates
  • No Intervention: Sudden wean from Nasal CPAP
    Usual practice to wean the preterm neonates from nasal CPAP
