OBJECTIVE To audit clinical practice during transport of very preterm infants (<32 weeks) with acute respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) receiving nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP). METHODS Retrospective cohort study. RESULTS Twenty-seven infants were receiving NCPAP before transport team's arrival, and 23 were commenced on NCPAP after team's arrival. Six infants (12%) failed NCPAP before transfer, 2 infants (4.5%) failed NCPAP less than 24 hours, and 5 infants (11.3%) failed more than 24 hours - 7 days following admission. None died or developed pneumothorax during, or 7 days after admission. We did not observe NCPAP failure during transfer. There was a statistically significant difference between the NCPAP success and NCPAP failure groups for FiO2 at admission (p < 0.05), and the duration of NCPAP (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS NCPAP is a potentially safe and effective mode of respiratory support for very preterm infants during ground, and air transports.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D015331 Cohort Studies Studies in which subsets of a defined population are identified. These groups may or may not be exposed to factors hypothesized to influence the probability of the occurrence of a particular disease or other outcome. Cohorts are defined populations which, as a whole, are followed in an attempt to determine distinguishing subgroup characteristics.
