To examine respiratory parameters in term and late preterm infants to identify early predictors of respiratory failure.

January 25, 2026

Early postnatal respiratory dynamics in term and late preterm infants with respiratory distress.

Key Points

To examine respiratory parameters in term and late preterm infants to identify early predictors of respiratory failure.
Measured Ti/Te ratio, SpO2, and HR in infants with respiratory distress.
Evaluated the effect of CPAP on EELI.
Increased Ti/Te ratio correlated with more severe respiratory distress.
SpO2 and HR levels were lower in infants experiencing significant respiratory issues.
CPAP application led to an immediate increase in EELI.

Abstract

In infants with more severe respiratory distress, Ti/Te ratio was increased, and SpO2 and HR were reduced, suggesting that these parameters may serve as early predictors of respiratory failure. Application of CPAP resulted in an immediate increase in EELI, highlighting the importance of early CPAP initiation for infants with respiratory distress.
