About this study

For the infant participating the study, ventilator settings and respiratory variables will be recorded every day and exported to a specific computer using the Servo Record Viewer version 1.0 (Maquet Critical Care AB, Getinge, Gothenburg, Sweden). Collected data gives the value for peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), expiratory tidal volume (Vt), peak Edi, minimum Edi, measured respiratory rate (RR), neural respiratory rate (nRR) and percentage of backup breaths for each minute. All the ventilator data will be inspected and compared with the event logs recorded automatically from the ventilator, which includes all the alarm notification, mode and setting changes, cables connection and disconnection data. Data during disconnection of the Edi cable, malfunction or dislocation of Edi catheter will be excluded from the analysis. The mean values during each day will be computed for each ventilatory variables. If there is a change in the ventilatory setting parameters, we will choose the one which was applied for longer duration in the 24-hour time period.

The following clinical characteristics will be collected from medical records: gestational age at birth, birth weight, gender, the time and amount of feeding, medication during the study days, desaturation events, bradycardia events, suction time and methods.

What participants receive

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

  • Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modeDevice

    This technique uses the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) to control respiratory support and the NAVA level as an amplification factor that converts the Edi signal into a proportional pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. the amount of backup breaths by the ventilator

    % time of backup/min according to babies' weight, postmenstrual age and postnatal age

    Measured: during the respiratory support using NAVA, from day 1 until the end of 36 weeks of postmenstrual age

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Premature Infants and Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist, run by Inha University Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 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 12 Jan 2021. 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 Finland. 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?

the amount of backup breaths by the ventilator (time frame: during the respiratory support using NAVA, from day 1 until the end of 36 weeks of postmenstrual age). 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 NCT04659083, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jan 2021.
