About this study

Official title: THE EFFECT OF SUSTAINED LUNG INFLATION MANEUVER APPLIED THROUGH NASAL PRONG ON EARLY AND LATE RESPIRATORY MORBIDITIES IN PRETERM INFANTS

Purpose: The investigators hypothesis is that, as compared to the only nCPAP-applied group, application of SLI maneuver followed by respiratory support with nCPAP immediately afterwards in preterm infants at high risk for RDS would reduce the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation in early period and ultimately will improve respiratory outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Primary Outcome Measures:

Surfactant need, intubation and mechanical ventilation needs within the first 72 hours of life in SLI (Sustained Lung Inflation) maneuver-applied preterm infants and non-SLI-applied preterm infants.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

  • Heart rate, fractional inspiratory oxygen, CPAP pressure and oxygen saturation within the first 72 hours of life in preterm infants
  • Total non-invasive, invasive respiratory support time
  • The presence of and the degree of BPD (Bronchopulmonary dysplasia)
  • Premature morbidities such as PDA (patent ductus arteriosus), IVH (intraventricular hemorrhage), NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis), ROP (retinopathy of prematurity)
  • Feeding intolerance, reaching birth weight and transition to full oral feeding time

Study Design Randomization Group 1: Group that received SLI maneuver immediately after birth followed by nCPAP.

Group 2: Group that received nCPAP after birth. Following the oral and nasal aspirates, SLI at 25 cm H2O pressure will be applied for 15 seconds by using t-piece refreshing and binasal prongs and 5-cm nCPAP at H2O pressure will be applied.

Patients will be observed for 5-10 seconds in terms of cardiorespiratory functions following SLI maneuver. If respiratory failure continues during nCPAP (such as apnea, gasping) and/or heart rate is > 60 / min but < 100 / min , SLI maneuver will be repeated at the same pressure for the same time period. If heart rate > 60 / min but <100 / min persists after the second SLI maneuver, resuscitation will be applied in line with the guidelines of American Academy of Pediatrics.

The control group of infants will receive nCPAP support at 5 cm H2O pressure and be supported in line with the guidelines of American Academy of Pediatrics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Neopuff; Fisher and Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, 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?

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: 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

mechanical ventilation requirement (time frame: 72 hours). 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.
