About this study

Official title: Does Personal Protective Equipment for the Prevention of SARS-Cov-2 Infection Impact the Timing of Ventilation in Neonates Needing Resuscitation at Birth? A Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial

There has been an increasing number of SARS-CoV-2 infections in pregnant women and neonates. Interventions including open airway suctioning, positive pressure ventilation, non-invasive respiratory support, tracheal intubation, and endotracheal drug administration are aerosol-generating medical procedures and may create a risk to the unprotected healthcare providers. The impact of using personal protective equipment during neonatal resuscitation maneuvers is unknown.

The objective of this study will be to compare the beginning of PPV and the duration of intubation between performing resuscitation with PPE for the prevention of SARS-Cov-2 infection and resuscitation without PPE for the prevention of SARS-Cov-2 infection.

Being tested
Neonatal resuscitation with PPE for the prevention of SARS-Cov-2 infection, Neonatal resuscitation without PPE for the prevention of SARS-Cov-2 infection

  3. Participant's opinion on discomfort using personal protective equipment

    Level of discomfort in performing the procedures: 0 (no discomfort), 1 (low discomfort) ,2 (high discomfort)

    Measured: 20 minutes

  4. Time of initiation of chest compressions

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neonatal resuscitation with PPE for the prevention of SARS-Cov-2 infection and Neonatal resuscitation without PPE for the prevention of SARS-Cov-2 infection in people with Neonates Needing Resuscitation at Birth, run by University Hospital Padova at 2 sites in Italy.

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 1 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 1 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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?

Initiation of positive pressure ventilation (time frame: 5 minutes). 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 NCT04666233, which also lists 4 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 1 Apr 2021.
