About this study

Official title: Nasal High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (NHFOV) vs Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(NCPAP) for Ventilated Newborn Infants With BPD: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Invasive ventilation(IV) remains one key cornerstone to reduce neonatal mortality for preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). However, it is also related to increased risks of ventilator-associated lung injury and escalation of pulmonary inflammation, and which finally result in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Early weaning from IV in newborn infants with BPD is therefore a key procedure to reduce these risks above.

Read the detailed description

Supplying with the combined advantages of NCPAP and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) with high carbon dioxide(CO2) removal, no need for synchronisation, non-invasion, less volume/barotraumas, and increased functional residual capacity, nasal HFOV(NHFOV) was considered as a strengthened version of NCPAP. Furthermore, the superimposed oscillations of NHFOV could avoid gas-trapping, and allowed to obviously up-regulate mean airway pressure (MAP) more than NCPAP. Thus, NHFOV might be more beneficial as post-extubation respiratory support strategy to avoid re-intubation and subsequent complications and/or sequelae as compared with NCPAP in preterm infants. Nowadays, NHFOV was increasingly used in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) around the world due to its convenient operation. A retrospective review has reported the beneficial effects of NHFOV in preterm infants as a remedial measure after failing to other noninvasive modes, including reducing the number of apneas, bradycardias or oxygen desaturations. However, there were rare randomized controlled studies comparing NHFOV with NCPAP in preterm infants with BPD.

We have found that NHFOV is superior to NCPAP in avoiding re-intubation in very preterm infants with the first extubation. The purpose of the present study was to compare NHFOV with NCPAP as post-extubation respiratory support strategies on the need for endotracheal ventilation, as well as pressure of CO2(PCO2) level in preterm infants with BPD.

What is being measured

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

  1. re-intubation rate

    the newborn infants with ventilated BPD is reintubated after extubation

    Measured: seven days after extubation

  2. death

    the newborn infants with BPD die

    Measured: seven days after extubation

  3. the level of carbon dioxide

    the level of carbon dioxide is measure after extubation between groups

    Measured: seven days after extubation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. necrotizing entercolitis(NEC)

    the newborn infants with BPD is diagnosed with NEC

    Measured: seven days after extubation

  2. intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH)

    the newborn infants with BPD is diagnosed with NEC

    Measured: seven days after extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NHFOV and NCPAP in people with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and Nasal High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation, run by Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University at 1 site in China.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chen(陈) Long, MD, PhD (+8613883559467, neuroclong@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

re-intubation rate (time frame: seven days after extubation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Oct 2022.
