Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Therapy with supplemental oxygen reduces hypoxia, reducing mortality among premature newborns (PTNB), however, excessive exposure to oxygen has the potential to reach and damage multiple organs of the neonate. OBJECTIVE: To determine the factors associated with the use of ventilatory support/oxygen therapy in PTNBs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational, longitudinal, prospective study of a quantitative nature, carried out from July 2019 to March 2020, in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a public university hospital. PTNBs using oxygen therapy were observed from the period of admission to discharge, with gestational and birth data and oxygen therapy parameters being collected. RESULTS: 62 PTNBs were followed up with a mean gestational age (GA) of 30.5 weeks (±3.43) and a median birth weight (BW) of 1,390 grams (555 g - 3,115 g). The mean length of hospital stay of 35 days (3-176) and of oxygen therapy was 7.5 days (1-176). When relating the total number of days on oxygen therapy with the Apgar value at the 5th minute, there was no significant relationship (rho= -0.158; p=0.219), however, there was a relationship with GA at birth (rho= -0.725; p<0.001 ), use of antennal steroids (p=0.006) and exogenous surfactant (<0.001). There was also a relationship with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The factors associated with time and use of oxygen therapy were GA, PN, use of antennal steroids and exogenous surfactant, and an association with BPD and ROP was also observed.
