Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 0 to 28 days
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: All newborn babies who are receiving phototherapy for indirect hyperbilirubinemia in the NICU of the Hacettepe University will be included in the study following the obtaining of informed consent by their parents/guardian. The oxygen saturation of all babies receiving inpatient treatment in the NICU is routinely monitored with a pulse oximeter. In this study, the oxygen saturation of the newborns receiving phototherapy will be recorded.

Who may be able to join

  • newborn babies (0-28 days)
  • to be treated in the Hacettepe University Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
  • receiving phototherapy treatment

Who cannot join

  • Newborn babies with any diseases that affect oxygen saturation including congenital heart disease, chromosomal disease, inborn error of metabolism, anemia, circulatory disorder, hypovolemia or hydrops fetalis

About this study

Official title: The Influence of Phototherapy Lights on the Measurement of Oxygen Saturation With Pulse Oximeter in Newborns.

This will be a prospective clinical study conducted with the approval of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee.

The influence of phototherapy lights on the accuracy of pulse oximetry will be investigated.

Read the detailed description

Each patient's oxygen saturation will be measured non-invasively via a nondisposable polyethylene neonatal probe taped to the infant's palm, toe, or dorsum of the foot. The probe will be connected to an Massimo Rad97 pulse oximeter that is standardized at the factory. It runs through an automatic systems check when turned on and needs no further calibration before being used. The oxygen saturation measurements will be considered valid when there will be a normal plethysmographic waveform, a fullscale signal strength bar, and a stable heart rate closely approximating an independent electrocardiographic (ECG) pulse rate. The pulse oximeter works by using the technology of plethsmography which allows the detection of an arterial pulse) with oximetry (which measures oxygen saturation at specific wavelengths). The pulse oximeter will be placed on each infant as already described. After a stable pulse oximeter reading was obtained, the value will be recorded ("before") and then the probe will be covered with a standard disposable diaper, shiny side up. When the reading stabilized, the value will be recorded ("during") and then the diaper will be removed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Oxygen Saturation Before and During Covering Oximeter Probe

    The two data points (percent oxygen saturation before and during covering of oximeter probe) for each patient will be compared.

    Measured: The two data (''before'' and ''during'') will be recorded consecutively for each infant, when the reading stabilize. All measurements will be completed wiithin 6 months according to the study protocol calendar.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperbilirubinemia, Neonatal Indirect, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 22 Sep 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Percent Oxygen Saturation Before and During Covering Oximeter Probe (time frame: The two data (''before'' and ''during'') will be recorded consecutively for each infant, when the reading stabilize. All measurements will be completed wiithin 6 months according to the study protocol calendar.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04494217, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Sep 2023.
