Abstract:Objective To compare the efficacy of NIPPV ventilation and SIMV in the treatment of premature respiratory distress syndrome. Methods From January 2017 to June 2018, 80 premature infants with RDS were randomly divided into control group (n?=?40) and observation group (n?=?40). Children in the control group were treated with SIMV mode, and those in the observation group were treated with NIPPV mode. The blood gas analysis index, ventilator parameters, treatment time and complication rate were compared between the two groups. Results At 24?h and 48?h of the treatment, PaO2 (partial pressure of oxygen), SaO2 (arterial oxygen saturation) and OI (oxygen index) in observation group were significantly higher than that in control group, and PaCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery) and FiO2 were significantly lower than that in the control group. The time of oxygen therapy, the time of using ventilator and the time of hospitalization in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P?0.05). Complications such as ventilator-associated pneumonia, craniocerebral hemorrhage and pulmonary hemorrhage were found in both groups during the treatment period, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P?>?0.05). Conculsions Compared with the invasive ventilation mode of SIMV, NIPPV ventilation therapy was more safe and reliable in improving the degree of oxygenation and time of treatment in children with ARDS.
