Abstract:Objective To analyze the application effect of non-invasive auxiliary ventilation and mechanical ventilation on respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) in premature infants.Methods Ninety premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Kaifeng Children's Hospital from January 2021 to September 2022 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received mechanical ventilation, while the observation group received non-invasive auxiliary ventilation. The oxygen dynamics, respiratory mechanics, clinical treatment status, clinical efficacy, and adverse reactions between the two groups were compared.Results The levels of PaO2, PaCO2 and SaO2 measured by arterial pulse oximeter in the observation group on the 3rd and 7th day of treatment were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) between the observation group in terms of ventilation duration, total enteral feeding time, total oxygen therapy time, hospitalization time, and hospitalization expenses. The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was 93.33%, which was higher than 71.11% of the control group. The incidence of vocal cord injury in the observation group (28.89%) was lower than that in the control group (46.67%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Non-invasive assisted ventilation has an improvement effect on the blood oxygen status of premature infants with NRDS, and can improve clinical efficacy and reduce the incidence of vocal cord injury.
