About this study

Official title: CPAP Application at Delivery Room at Very Low Birth Weight Infants

The objective of the study is to determine if CPAP applied within less than 15 min of life in the DR reduces the necessity of mechanical ventilation and surfactant during the first 5 days of life.

Read the detailed description

A multicenter prospective cohort of inborn preterm infants, born at 8 public university NICU in Brazil, with birthweight 1000-1499 g, without malformations, not intubated at 15 minutes of life. Preterm infants will be randomly assigned at birth to an early treatment group (DR-CPAP), in which CPAP of 5 cm water pressure is applied within 15 minutes after birth by Neopuff, or to a routine group (RG), in which CPAP is applied when indicated by the assistant physician. After transfer to the NICU, nasal CPAP will be maintained with Hudson prongs

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Necessity of mechanical ventilation and surfactant during the first 5 days of life

    Measured: 5 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Maternal and infant characteristics associated with CPAP failure during the first 15 minutes of life

    Measured: 15 minutes

  2. Incidence of pneumothorax, interstitial emphysema, ductus arteriosus, peri- intra-ventricular hemorrhage, sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Oxygen use

    Measured: 28 days

  4. Oxygen use

    Measured: 56 days

  5. Oxygen use

    Measured: 36 weeks of corrected age

  6. Retinopathies of prematurity

    Measured: Hospital stay

  7. Death during hospitalization

    Measured: Hospital stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CPAP in people with Mechanical Ventilation and Retinal Disease, run by University of Sao Paulo.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Necessity of mechanical ventilation and surfactant during the first 5 days of life (time frame: 5 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Dec 2009.
