About this study

Official title: Comparing Heated Humidified High-flow Nasal Cannula Therapy and Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP) Ventilation Methods for the Prevention of Extubation Failure in Preterm Infants Less Than 32 Weeks' Gestational Age: Randomized Clinical Trial

Purpose is to show that HHHFNC method is as effective and safe as nCPAPand even more comfortable than it as non-invasive respiratory support for the prevention of extubation failure in preterm with gestational age of 26-32 weeks.

Patients requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 6 hours on the first 7 postnatal days will be included in the study.When patients were Fi O2 < 0,40, Pa CO2 < 65 mmHg, pH> 7.20, MAP (mean airway pressure) <7 cm H2O, they will be extubated if statistically stable.Oxygen-air mixture of 4-6 l / min flow rate will be set in HHHFNC group, and pressure will be set to 5-8 cm H2O in NCPAP group. When flow is 2 l / min, FiO2 is<0.30 at 24 hours and above, free oxygen will be introduced. In NCPAP group, when pressure is 5 cm H2O and FiO2 < 0.30 at 24 hours and above, free oxygen will be introduced.

Purpose is to show that HHHFNC method is as effective and safe as nCPAP and even more comfortable than it as non-invasive respiratory support for the prevention of extubation failure in preterm with gestational age of 26-32 weeks.

Method

Primary Outcome Measures:

The effectiveness of HHHFNC and nCPAP techniques for the prevention of extubation failure within 7 days following the first extubation in preterms in need of mechanical ventilation within the first 7 postnatal days

Secondary Outcome Measures:

  • the total duration of invasive and non-invasive respiratory support and the duration of free oxygen demand of patients
  • Premature morbidities such as PDA, NEC, ROP, IVH, BPDand sepsis
  • The degree of nasal trauma score and the degree of nasal mucosal injury
  • FiO2 levels first before extubation and 6 hours after extubation
  • The causes of reintubation such as apnea, acidosis, and increased need of FiO2
  • The reintubation predisposing factors such as pneumothorax, atelectasis, PDA after extubation
  • The weight change in the first 7-day period after extubation
  • The two groups in terms of neurodevelopmental changes

Study design Patients requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 6 hours on the first 7 postnatal days will be included in the study. When patients were Fi O2 < 0,40, Pa CO2 < 65 mmHg, pH> 7.20, MAP (mean airway pressure) <7 cm H2O, they will be extubated if statistically stable. Oxygen-air mixture of 4-6 l / min flow rate will be set in HHHFNC group, and pressure will be set to 5-8 cm H2O in NCPAP group. When flow is 2 l / min, FiO2 is<0.30 at 24 hours and above, free oxygen will be introduced. In NCPAP group, when pressure is 5 cm H2O and FiO2 < 0.30 at 24 hours and above, free oxygen will be introduced.

Reintubation criteria is set as;

  • FiO2 of ≥ 0.50 in order to keep oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry above 90 % and higher,
  • Apnea requiring more than 6 alerts in a 24 -hour period in 6 consecutive hours or more than 1 apnea requiring positive pressure ventilation,
  • Persistent acidosis; presence of pH < 7.20 and PCO2 > 65 mmHg in two different blood gases drawn with an interval of at least 30 minutes or treatment-resistant metabolic acidosis,
  • Severe respiratory distress,
  • Pulmonary haemorrhage and cardiopulmonary arrest.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula in people with Extubation Failure and Prematurity, run by Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Research and Education Hospital.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 13 Sep 2016. 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?

extubation failure (time frame: 7 day). 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 Sep 2016.
