About this study
Official title: Open Randomised Study of Conventional Ventilation Optimised by Dead Space Washout in Extremely Premature Infants
The Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation (CTGI) is a ventilation option of conventional mechanical ventilation that is used to reduce or even eliminate the dead space caused by respiratory prostheses. This objective is of particular interest in the smallest preterm infants, where the volume of anatomical dead space due to prostheses is little different from the tidal volume. The principle of this option is to continuously blow an additional flow of 0.2 L/minute at the tip of the endotracheal tube to purge expired CO2 trapped in the prostheses, to have a CO2-free volume of gas available for subsequent insufflation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation (CTGI) works to reduce ventilatory dependence in preterm infants after mechanical ventilation. It will also learn about the safety of CTGI. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
- Does Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation (CTGI) reduce the number of days of non-invasive ventilation in extremely preterm infants who needed mechanical ventilation?
- Does Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation (CTGI) reduce the age at the weaning of any ventilatory support and/or oxygen supplementation.
Researchers will compare the clinical outcome of patients mechanically ventilated with the CTGI-device to the outcome of patients ventilated without the CTGI device, to see if the CTGI ventilation works to reduce ventilation dependence.
Participants will:
- Be mechanically ventilated using CTGI (if randomly assigned in the CTGI-group), for the entire endotracheal ventilation period during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Ventilation with Dead Space Washout via Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation (CTGI)Device
Also called Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation, CTGI
The intervention involves adding a device which allows CTGI (the "CTGI-device") to washout the dead space in preterm mechanically ventilated infants. Dead space washout using the CTGI-device is an option added to standard ventilation, to reduce or even cancel anatomical dead space due to respiratory prostheses in intubated preterm infants.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation | Experimental | the preterm infant intubated and ventilated with Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation Receives: Device: Ventilation with Dead Space Washout via Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation (CTGI) |
| Standard ventilation without CTGI | No intervention | In the No Intervention arm, the preterm infants are mechanically ventilated using standard ventilation, without the CTGI-device. There is no dead space washout. |

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation (CTGI) is a ventilation option of conventional mechanical ventilation that is used to reduce or even eliminate the dead space caused by respiratory prostheses. This objective is of particular interest in the smallest preterm infants, where the volume of anatomical dead space due to prostheses is little different from the tidal volume.

Researchers will compare the clinical outcome of patients mechanically ventilated with the CTGI-device to the outcome of patients ventilated without the CTGI device, to see if the CTGI ventilation works to reduce ventilation dependence.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Ventilation with Dead Space Washout via Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation (CTGI) in people with Extremely Low Birthweight Infant and Continuous Tracheal Gas Insufflation, run by Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil at 4 sites in France.
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 6 inclusion and 5 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in France. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Claude Danan, M.D. (+33609187562, claude.danan@chicreteil.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cumulative duration of all periods of non-invasive ventilation (time frame: From birth to the end of hospital stay, up to maximum 45 weeks of corrected gestational age.). 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 5 Feb 2025.
