PULMONARY HEMORRHAGE, SEPSIS, PNEUMOTHORAX, COMPLICATIONS
The number of days required for the use of invasive mechanical ventilation (ventilator) and non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was recorded for all neonates. Some complications were evaluated. These complications are PDA (assessed by echocardiography), IVH (assessed by sonography), sepsis (using blood culture), and pneumothorax (using chest X-ray; and assessed by clinical symptoms) and pulmonary hemorrhage (using chest X-ray; and assessed by clinical symptoms). The mortalities in both groups were also recorded.
