About this study

Official title: Perfusion Index Variability in Preterm Infants Treated With Two Different Natural Surfactants for Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Perfusion index may vary according to type of surfactant during the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome.

Read the detailed description

Peripheral tissues of preterm infants are very sensitive for hypoperfusion, but there are rare data in the literature for peripheral perfusion after surfactant treatment. In this study the investigators aimed to compare the perfusion index (PI) variability in premature infants with respiratory distress (RDS) following instillation of one of two different natural surfactant preparations.

Being tested
Beractant, Poractant alfa
Keywords
natural surfactants; perfusion index

What participants receive

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

  • BeractantDrug

    Also called Beractant (Survanta)

    Beractant;both initial and subsequent dosing is 100 mg/kg (4 mL/kg), which may be given every 6 hours up to four total doses

  • Poractant alfaDrug

    Also called Poractant alfa (curosurf)

    porcine lung extract, initial dosing is 200 mg/kg (2.5 mL/kg) and repeated dosing is given at 100 mg/kg (1.25 mL/kg) every 12 hours, up to maximum of two additional doses when indicated

What is being measured

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

  1. perfusion index

    PI and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were measured by "Masimo Rainbow SET Radical-7 pulse oximeter" before and after surfactant. The effects of the two treatment regimens on PI, oxygenation and clinical outcome were compared.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Duration of mechanical ventilation

    The effects of the two treatment regimens on duration of mechanical ventilation were compared

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Beractant and Poractant alfa in people with Poor Peripheral Perfusion, run by Dr. Sami Ulus Children's Hospital.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2013. 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.

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?

perfusion index (time frame: 1 week). 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 13 May 2013.
