About this study

Official title: Surfactant Administration Via Thin Catheter Using a Specially Adapted Video Laryngoscope - a Prospective, Multicenter Trial, Assessing the Feasibility of the VISUAL Method (Video Surfactant Administration Laryngoscopy)

Surfactant administration via thin catheter using a specially adapted video laryngoscope - a prospective, multicenter trial, assessing the feasibility of the VISUAL method (Video Surfactant Administration Laryngoscopy).

The study will search for the number of attempts until surfactant is administrated, assessment of the infants' stability during the procedure, duration of the entire procedure, form laryngoscope insertion to surfactant administration.

Read the detailed description

In this study the investigators intend to assess the feasibility of surfactant administration via a thin catheter using a specially adapted video laryngoscope, with a groove designed to allow insertion of an endovascular catheter without the use of other instruments in the oral cavity (forceps ect.).

The laryngoscope is manufactured by Peak Medic Ltd, Natania, Israel.

Primary Endpoints

  1. - Number of attempts until surfactant is administrated
  2. - Assessment of the infants' stability during the procedure - saturation, bradycardia, tachycardia.
  3. - Duration of the entire procedure, form laryngoscope insertion to surfactants administration.
  4. Secondary Endpoints
  5. - Need of invasive mechanical ventilation in the next 24 hours.
  6. - Complications reports
  7. - Subjective procedure scale of assessment
  8. - Unexpected pitfalls reports
  9. - Safety assessment of the procedure
Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VISUAL in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn, run by Carmel Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 4 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 15 Mar 2022. 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 Israel. 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?

Primary outcome measures (time frame: 1 year). 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 15 Mar 2022.
