About this study

The purpose of this study is to implement a standardized protocol to initiate nasal non-invasive ventilation with RAM nasal cannula (NIV/RAM-NC) with Trilogy mechanical ventilator at Children Memorial Hospital inpatient and outpatient sites, as well as to explore the side effects and complications associated with the use of NIV/RAM-NC in children.

What participants receive

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

  • Nasal non-invasive ventilation with RAM cannulaDevice

    Pediatric Pulmonary Team will be consulted on inpatient or outpatient patients that fail to wean from chronic respiratory support (CPAP, BiPAP, High flow Nasal Cannula) in whom long-term ventilation is considered. Pediatric Pulmonary Team, as a consultant, will consider patient history, physical examination, previous imaging and laboratories and previous attempts to wean from respiratory support and causes of failure to wean. The Pulmonary team will determine which patients would potentially benefit from use of NIV/RAM-NC for long-term respiratory support and will recommend initiation of NIV/RAM-NC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal non-invasive ventilation with RAM cannula in people with Chronic Respiratory Failure, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Feasibility as Assessed by Number of Participants Who Had Complications (time frame: 7 days after starting the RAM cannula). 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?
