About this study

Official title: Effect of Volume Guarantee-High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation on Cerebral Blood Flow in Preterm Neonates

A randomized controlled clinical trial evaluates cerebral blood flow changes associated with HFOV-VG in comparison to HFOV alone in preterm neonates with respiratory insufficiency during the period of invasive respiratory support

Read the detailed description

Neonatal respiratory distress (NRD) is one of the most common problems in the first few days of neonatal life. NRD has been reported to be prevalent in 5 - 29% of the NICU hospitalized neonates.

High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) has been used for more than three decades, it is a rescue maneuver for failed conventional mechanical ventilation. It delivers small tidal volumes to improve gas exchange. As it uses a low tidal volume, under the anatomical dead space at supra-physiological respiratory frequencies HFOV can reduce the risk of lung injury related to the ventilator and consequently reduce the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia HFOV is indicated for patients with neonatal air leak syndrome, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and meconium aspiration Several factors are known to influence cerebral perfusion during HFOV. Hypercapnia increases cerebral blood flow (CBF) while a reduction in PaCO2 leads to cerebral vasoconstriction and decreases CBF, Hypoxia is also known to increase CBF via cerebral vasodilation HFOV with volume guarantee (HFOV-VG) is a promising new ventilator mode for the treatment of respiratory failure in newborns. HFOV-VG is expected to result in less lung injury since it reduces fluctuations of high frequency tidal volume (VThf), reduces the number of out-of-target pCO2 values and provides fewer hypoxia attacks compared with HFOV alone

What is being measured

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

  1. Doppler cerebral blood flow velocity measurements

    Investigate the effect of combining the VG mode with HFOV (HFOV-VG), versus the effect of HFOV alone, on Doppler cerebral blood flow velocity measurements

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. efficiency of HFOV-VG in comparison with HFOV alone

    Evaluate the efficiency of HFOV-VG in comparison with HFOV alone as a rescue therapy in providing adequate neonatal ventilation and its possible impact on the short-term clinical outcome in terms of mortality and morbidities of these preterm neonates.

    Measured: 8 weeks or till patient discharged

  2. Duration of admission

    To document total number of days of admission

    Measured: 8 weeks or till patient discharged

  3. Mortality rate

    To document incidence of mortality during hospitalization

    Measured: 8 weeks or till patient death which comes first

  4. Incidence of feeding intolerance

    Percentage of Patients who developed feeding intolerance

    Measured: 8 weeks or till patient discharged

  5. Days to reach full intake

    Number of days needed by each patient to reach full intake

    Measured: 8 weeks or till patient discharge which comes first

  6. Chest x ray change

    Chest x ray grading of RDS performed to patient before and after the assigned mode to compare lung aeration degree

    Measured: Before intubation and and after 2 hours on assigned mode

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation with Volume Guarantee (SLE6000;SLE) and High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (SLE6000;SLE) in people with Infant, Premature, Diseases and Respiratory Tract Diseases, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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 25 Sep 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

Doppler cerebral blood flow velocity measurements (time frame: 72 hours). 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 25 Sep 2024.
