Study aim
-
determination of effect of salbutamol on respiratory distress syndrome
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, single blinded, randomized by random computer numbers, phase 3 clinical trial - study on 62 patients.
-
Settings and conduct
-
A study is being conducted on the disease of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants. The place of study is in the neonatal intensive care unit in Yas and Bahrami hospitals. Newborns admitted to these wards enter the study after obtaining informed consent if they meet the entry requirements. 30 minutes before surfactant administration, arterial blood gas test and oxygen saturaton are performed and in the intervention group, inhalational salbutamol is nebulized. 30 minutes later, arterial blood gas test is performed again and oxygen saturaton is measured. And the results is compared.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Include:
Respiratory distress syndrome diagnosis and candidation for surfactant.
Exclude:
other respiratory problems (Transient tachypnea of newborn, meconium aspiration, pneumonitis, congenital diaphragmatic hernia , Apgar score under 3 min5, heart rate more than 180, chromosomal disorder, Cardiac malformations, asphyxia, obstetric trauma, Twin to twine transfusion , sepsis, severe metabolic acidosis, Congenital tumors, maternal diabetes, asthma, Death in first day
-
Intervention groups
-
In the intervention group: salbutamol with standard dose (0.2 mg / kg/d) willbe nebulized as a single dose, 30 minutes before surfactant administration.
In the control group, routine treatment willbe performed.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Oxygen saturaton and arterial CO2 partial pressure
Duration of hospitalization, duration of need for intubation or continuous positive airway pressure , neonatal outcome (mortality rate)
