Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether saturation control by parents in children younger than 32 weeks or under 1500 g versus conventional care performed by nursing increases the time in which these patients remain at optimal saturation range. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Changing the Paradigm for Improving Neonatal Care: Clinical Study on Optimal Oxygen-saturation Time and the Adding Value of Parents to Nursing Care in the Control of Fi02

The purpose of this study is to determine whether saturation control by parents in children younger than 32 weeks or under 1500 g versus conventional care performed by nursing increases the time in which these patients remain at optimal saturation range. If the hypothesis of this study is confirmed premature infants could prevent episodes of hypoxia-hyperoxia and also give more relevance to the role of parents in caring for their children admitted in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Read the detailed description

Both episodes of hyperoxia and hypoxemia in preterm infants increase morbidity and mortality. Nowadays the adjustment of FiO2 is manually controlled, which means it depends on the staff, needing multiple adjustments throughout the day.

The investigators's hypothesis is that the FiO2 control by parents, improve the percentage of time in range of optimum saturation at least 10% compared to control by nurses.

The aim of this study is to compare the proportion of time with oxygen saturation (SpO2) within the assigned target range, in the preterm infants whose parents modify the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) versus the nursing staff modifying group.

This is a randomized controlled clinical study in the neonatal intensive care unit at Hospital 12 de Octubre. Patients will be randomized in two groups, Experimental Group: parents controlling the saturation ranges, they will manually adjust FiO2 versus the Control Group: controlled by nursing staff (standard procedure). Saturations will be registered and adjustments of FiO2 will be filmed for nonconsecutive 20-hours periods. Twenty-three patients will be enrolled in each group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard procedure and Experimental procedure in people with Premature Birth of Newborn, run by Carmen Rosa Pallas at 1 site in Spain.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2018. 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Carmen R. Pallás Alonso, Dra. (34 913908272, carmenrosa.pallas@salud.madrid.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Children maintained within the saturation ranges in each group (time frame: 20-40 hours as maximum). 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 NCT02306317, 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 15 Mar 2018.
