Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of caffeine versus aminophylline in treating apnea of prematurity in preterm neonates at a hospital in Southern India.
- - A total of 240 infants were involved in a randomized controlled trial, with one group receiving caffeine and the other aminophylline, evaluating their effects on apnea spells and associated health issues over a treatment period.
- - Results showed that aminophylline led to fewer apnea episodes in the first week, but both treatments had similar outcomes regarding apnea rates and hospital stays; however, caffeine was linked to a lower risk of tachycardia in treated infants.
