Abstract

Objective The study aimed to assess the association of tracheal intubation (TI) and where it is performed, and the number of TI attempts with death and/or severe neurological injury (SNI) among preterm infants.

Study Design Retrospective cohort study of infants born 23 to 32 weeks, admitted to a single level-3 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) between 2015 and 2018. Exposures were location of TI (delivery room [DR] vs. NICU) and number of TI attempts (1 vs. >1). Primary outcome was death and/or SNI (intraventricular hemorrhage grade 3–4 and/or periventricular leukomalacia). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess association between exposures and outcomes and to adjust for confounders.

Results Rate of death and/or SNI was 2.5% (6/240) among infants never intubated, 12% (13/105) among NICU TI, 32% (31/97) among DR TI, 20% (17/85) among infants with one TI attempt and 23% (27/117) among infants with >1 TI attempt. Overall, median number of TI attempts was 1 (interquartile range [IQR]: 1–2). Compared with no TI, DR TI (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 9.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.21–28.84) and NICU TI (AOR: 3.42, 95% CI: 1.21–10.61) were associated with higher odds of death and/or SNI. The DR TI was associated with higher odds of death and/or SNI compared with NICU TI (AOR: 2.64, 95% CI: 1.17–6.22). The number of intubation attempts (1 vs. >1) was not associated with death and/or SNI (AOR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.47–2.03).

Conclusion The DR TI is associated with higher odds of death and/or SNI compared with NICU TI, and may help identify higher risk infants. There was no association between the number of TI attempts and death and/or SNI.

Key Points

  • Delivery room intubation correlates with morbidity.

  • Less than 2 intubation attempts are not associated with IVH.

  • Provider training reduces intubation attempts.
