About this study

Official title: Applied Forces During Neonatal Face Mask Ventilation With Different Face-mask Air Cushion

Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is the most important intervention in neonatal resuscitation. During PPV, it is important to hold the face-mask with care, as applying excessive pressure could cause injury to the infant, while insufficient pressure could be a contributor of mask leak and reduced effective ventilation. Application of positive pressure to face structures may trigger a vagally mediated reflex via the trigeminal nerve that innervates the skin of the face leading to apnoea and a decrease in heart rate (TCR, trigeminal-cardiac reflex).

In neonatal manikins, ventilation with a partially or fully inflated face mask does not seem to result in differences in mask leak. The force exerted by providers to improve mask seal might result in pressure lesions and in the elicitation of the trigeminal-cardiac reflex. However, information about the applied forces is unknown.

What is being measured

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

  1. Applied forces on the manikin face

    The forces applied by the participants to the manikin face will be measured by sensors positioned on the manikin face

    Measured: 1 minute

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cuff pressure

    The pressure inside the mask will be measured during the procedure

    Measured: 1 minute

  2. Percentage of ventilation time with leak less than 25% around the mask

    The mask leak willbe measured by using a respiratory function monitoring during theprocedure

    Measured: 1 minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Partially inflated mask and Fully inflated mask in people with Positive Pressure Ventilation and Preterm Infants, run by University Hospital Padova at 1 site 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 8 Apr 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 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?

Applied forces on the manikin face (time frame: 1 minute). 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 NCT06161389, 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 8 Apr 2024.
