Trial summary

Experimental nociceptive stimulation of the fetus and neonate induces pulmonary artery vasoconstriction. The investigators assessed whether echocardiography for Ductus arteriosus screening may generate this hemodynamic response and whether postural support would be able to modulate it.

About this study

Official title: Does Postural Support During Echocardiography Modify Hemodynamic Features and Discomfort Induced by the Examination in Very Premature Neonates?

Experimental nociceptive stimulation of the fetus and neonate induces pulmonary artery vasoconstriction. The investigators assessed whether echocardiography for Ductus arteriosus screening may generate this hemodynamic response and whether postural support would be able to modulate it.

Study design

Read more

Prospective, single center, randomized study in less than 29 weeks of gestation neonates, with a post natal age < 48 hours, and requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.

Crossover design with order of echocardiographies determined by computer randomization: in one group ultrasounds are performed with postural support, than standard conditions, in the other, ultrasounds are performed in standard conditions than with postural support.

The objective of the study is to assess the ratio of the acceleration time/ejection time of pulmonary arterial flow.

The others objectives are to assess echocardiographic-Doppler features (ductus arteriosus shunt pattern, pulmonary flow pattern, estimated systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, right and left ventricular functions using tissue Doppler imaging and speckle-tracking echocardiography), pain assessment with a clinical scale and heart rate variability analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. value of the ratio of the acceleration time of pulmonary arterial flow.

    for each echocardiography (support condition and postural support)

    Measured: up to 1 hour

  2. value of the ejection time of pulmonary arterial flow

    for each echocardiography (support condition and postural support)

    Measured: up to 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. pain assessment with a clinical scale

    assessment of the pain with a practical behavioral observation scale

    Measured: up to 1 hour

  2. number of participant with a Patent ductus arteriosus shunt

    Measured: up to 2 hours

  3. systolic pulmonary arterial pressure

    Measured: up to 2 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing echocardiography with postural support and echocardiography with standard condition (usual) in people with Premature Newborn, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 9 Sep 2016. 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 France. 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?

value of the ratio of the acceleration time of pulmonary arterial flow. (time frame: up to 1 hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Sep 2016.
