The IT-NEUMA-Preg study was conducted in seven Italian hospitals between 2015 and 2022. Of the 94 pregnant women included :
- 24 were found to be at risk of developing respiratory disorders likely to have an impact on the pregnancy in progress or in the postnatal period,
- these women were able to benefit from prevention of these problems using non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and/or respiratory physiotherapy sessions alternating insufflation and exsufflation,
- 9 patients had respiratory complications after delivery but without any indication for intubation or tracheostomy.
All the children from these high-risk pregnancies were well.
