Oral continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) following nasal injury in a preterm infant

Abstract: Non-invasive respiratory support is increasingly popular but is associated with complications including nasal trauma. The present report describes a novel method of oral continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivery in an extremely premature infant with severe nasal septum erosion. The distal end of a cut down endotracheal tube was passed through a small hole made in the teat of a dummy (infant pacifier) and sutured in place. The dummy was secured in the infant's mouth and CPAP was delivered to the phary… Show more

“…Hence, the occurrence of these injuries is directly related to the pressure the device exerts on the septum and nasal columella, due to the reduced local blood irrigation and the consecutive development of trauma ( 5 , 9 , 11 ) . Hence, the non-constant observation of these devices' positioning and stabilization favors the appearance of injuries, demanding immediate intervention from the team for the sake of prevention ( 19 ) .…”

“…In view of the lack of recent studies on this theme in the literature, the technological evolution at the neonatal services has moved towards the search for devices that minimize the effects on the infant's nostrils. Nevertheless, despite the increasing use of these devices, there are no controlled studies yet that guarantee safety and efficacy in the neonatal patients ( 18 - 19 ) .…”

“…Specific measures like hydrocolloid film and ointment (dexpanthenolum) can be used in patients with nasal trauma. Carlisle et al [16] described a novel method of oral CPAP delivery in an extremely premature infant with severe nasal septum erosion. The distal end of a cut down endotracheal tube was passed through a small hole made in the teatment of a dummy (infant pacifier) and sutured in place.…”

“…Such respiratory care can be performed noninvasively through constant or variable pressure from ventilatory support. This technique of ventilatory support is known as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) 2,3 . Invasive assisted MV is achieved by orotracheal intubation (OTI), which consists of the placement of a naso-or orotracheal tube and performs the same function as noninvasive support 4 .…”
