About this study
Official title: Principal Investigator
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is common in preterm infants born at less than 32 weeks gestation; surfactant and mechanical ventilation have been the standard treatment. However, despite advances in neonatal respiratory care, a considerable number of preterm infants develop chronic lung disease, termed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which is associated with neonatal death, prolonged neonatal intensive care stay, and impaired neurodevelopment. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) was developed as a new ventilation technique in the late 1970s. It was expected to result in less BPD and death as a primary model of ventilation compared to conventional ventilation (CV) in the treatment of RDS. However, there is disagreement concerning the advantage of HFOV over CV in the treatment of RDS in preterm infants regarding the prevention of death, BPD, intraventricular hemorrhage, and periventricular leucomalacia in the short term. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of HFOV and CV in preterm infants with severe RDS.
Read the detailed description
All patients were monitored including blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, ventilator settings, and arterial blood gases pre- or during mechanical ventilation. PaO2/FIO2 was calculated. After 2 hours ventilation, if PaO2/FIO2 <200, patients were given rescue surfactant therapy (Curosurf 200mg/kg). A subsequent dose (100mg/kg) was administered when PaO2/FIO2 <200 12 hours after the previous dose. Surfactant was administered with use of in-line catheters. Suctioning was performed 6 hours after surfactant administration, except for some patients needed suction soon, with use of an in-line suction catheter. Ventilation continued during the administration of surfactant and suctioning.

mechanical ventilation (SLE 5000, Servo-i-Maquet)Device
Also called conventional mechanical ventilation
Ventilation strategies for both groups were to emphasize lung recruitment and avoid atelectasis and over distention. The optimum lung volume was determined as expansion to 8 to 9.5 ribs for most infants, and 7 to 8 ribs for infants with air leak. HFOV setting were as follows: initial frequency was set between 11 and 15Hz; pressure amplitude of oscillation was initially adjusted to provide adequate chest wall movement and was subsequently titrated to maintain the PaCO2 between 40 and 55 mmHg; The initial mean airway pressure (MAP) was set at 8-10 cmH2O. MAP and FIO2 were set to maintain arterial oxygen saturation between 88 to 95%, an arterial pH of at least 7.25. Extubation was considered when MAP was ≤7 cmH2O and the pressure amplitude of oscillation reach 10 to 15 cmH2O.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is common in preterm infants born at less than 32 weeks gestation; surfactant and mechanical ventilation have been the standard treatment. However, despite advances in neonatal respiratory care, a considerable number of preterm infants develop chronic lung disease, termed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which is associated with neonatal death, prolonged neonatal intensive care stay, and impaired neurodevelopment. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) was developed as a new ventilation technique in the late 1970s. It was expected to result in less BPD and death as a primary model of ventilation compared to conventional ventilation (CV) in the treatment of RDS. However, there is disagreement concerning the advantage of HFOV over CV in the treatment of RDS in preterm infants regarding the prevention of death, BPD, intraventricular hemorrhage, and periventricular leucomalacia in the short term. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of HFOV and CV in preterm infants with severe RDS.

A Phase 2 study testing mechanical ventilation (SLE 5000, Servo-i-Maquet) in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Zhengzhou Children's Hospital, China at 1 site in China.
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 4 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (time frame: defined as requirement of oxygen at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01496508, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 21 Dec 2011.
