About this study

Official title: Non-invasive Ventilation as a Post Extubation Mode for RDS: a Randomized, Cotrolled Trial to Compare n-CPAP by n- Bipap and NIPPV

non-invasive ventilation in preterms complaining from RDS a randomized, controlled trial to compare between capap, n-bipap and NIPPV

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of this study is to compare the impact of early extubation to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (n-CPAP) versus nasal Bilevel positive airway pressure (n-BiPAP) and non invasive positive pressure ventilation(NIPPV) on the need for mechanical ventilation via endotracheal tube (MVET) to 7 days of age or less in preterm infants less than or equal to 34 weeks' gestation requiring intubation and surfactant if indicated for respiratory distress syndrome within 120 min of delivery . Second aim is to compare different outcomes of post-extubation n-CPAP , n-BiPAPand NIPPV.

Being tested
N-CPAP, n-BiPAP, NIPPV

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • N-CPAPDevice

    The n-CPAP group will receive at extubation a single level continuous positive airway pressure of 7 cm water for at least 48 hours before weaning is commenced. If the infant is stable for the preceding 48 hours defined by having fewer than three minor apneas and no increase in oxygen requirement, weaning will be permitted.

    CPAP will be decreased from 6 cm water by 1 cm water every 24 hours if tolerated based on the above criteria. This will be done until a pressure of 4 cm water is reached.

    If a pressure of 4 cm water is successfully tolerated for 48 hours then time off n-CPAP will be allowed. Thereafter, no fixed weaning regime based on number of hours in a day the infant will be allowed to come off CPAP will be prescribed.

  • n-BiPAPDevice

    The n-BiPAP group will receive at extubation a mean airway pressure of 7 cm water (positive end expiratory pressure of 5 cm water and peak inspiratory pressure of 9 cm of water). Inspiratory time of one second and respiratory rate of 30/min will always be maintained.

    The infant will then receive a mean airway pressure of 5 cm water (positive end expiratory pressure of 4 cm water and peak inspiratory pressure of 6 cm of water).

  • NIPPVDevice

    The NIPPV group will receive at extubation a positive end expiratory pressure of 5 cm water , a peak inspiratory pressure of 9 cm of water, RR of 35 and ti of 0.32

What is being measured

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

  1. Failure of extubation during the first 48 hours post-extubation

    This will be defined as:

    1. Uncompensated respiratory acidosis defined as pH less than 7.2 and partial pressure of carbon dioxide of more than 60 mmHg (or)
    2. Major apnea requiring mask ventilation

    Measured: during the first 48 hours post-extubation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. total days of non invasive ventilation

    anytime requiring respiratory support during a 24 hour clock counted as a day

    Measured: for 10 days from the hour of extubation

  2. length of hospital stay

    time of total admission

    Measured: 30 days postnatal age

  3. pneumothorax

    air leak detected and was evident in chest x ray

    Measured: 10 days post extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing N-CPAP, n-BiPAP and NIPPV in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 5 May 2020. 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 Egypt. 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.

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?

Failure of extubation during the first 48 hours post-extubation (time frame: during the first 48 hours post-extubation). 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 5 May 2020.
