Effects of endotracheal intubation positive pressure ventilation on the clinical effect and Apgar score for asphyxia neonatorum

Abstract

Objective To observe the effects of endotracheal intubation positive pressure ventilation on the clinical effect, time index and Apgar score in the treatment of neonatal asphyxia. Methods A total of 108 cases of neonatal asphyxial were selected, and were divided into two groups based on diferent regiments, with 54 cases in each group, the control group was treated by resuscitator bag mask positive pressure ventilation, and the observation group received tracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation. The ventilation time, blood gas analysis and Apgar score in the two groups were compared. Results The ventilation duration, time for resuscitation and onset time in the observation group were all shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05); the improvement rates of pH, PaO2, PaCO2 and SpO2 in the observation group after 5-minute resuscitation were all greater than those in the control group (P<0.05); the Apgar scores after resuscitation for 1 min, 5 min and 10 min in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions For asphyxiated neonates, the application of endotracheal intubation positive pressure ventilation has significant curative effect, which can significantly improve the blood gas analysis index, shorten the ventilation time and speed up the relief of asphyxia.
