Oscillatory Versus Non-oscillatory Nasal Continuous Airway Pressure Neonatal Respiratory Support

April 2, 2021 updated by: University of California, Davis

Oscillatory Versus Non-Oscillatory Nasal Continuous Airway Pressure Neonatal Respiratory Support

Controlled randomized trial looking at Standard nasal continuous airway pressure (CPAP) respiratory support versus High Frequency CPAP in neonates who require respiratory support or who are being extubated and require support post extubation. Patients will be evaluated for need to be reintubated and oxygen requirement and PaCO2 levels

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing High Frequency nasal CPAP versus standard nasal CPAP. The patient population includes preterm newborns who require respiratory support but do not need to be initially intubated and preterm or term infants who are being extubated and will require support for the continued lung disease. After obtaining parental consent the patient will be randomized to one of the two treatments. Patients will be followed for requirement of level of oxygen and blood gases looking at acidity (pH) and PaCO2 and Bicarbonate(HCO3). A respiratory index score will be measured. Attending physician will determine the need for the patient to be intubated or reintubated depending on the patient selected. Additionally, frequency, duration and severity of Apnea, Bradycardia and Desaturation events will be recorded. Also safety issues to include pulmonary airleak, nasal injury, facial edema and scalp edema due to straps holding the device in place will be recorded. Also gaseous distension of the stomach and intestines will be assessed and compared between treatment arms. This study is not powered to look at long term outcomes.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 4 months (CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Regular Nasal CPAP using a conventional ventilator
Regular nasal CPAP for management of respiratory distress Patient will have regular nasal CPAP placed via nasal prongs with level of pressure adjusted and level of oxygen adjusted as needed for acceptable oxygenation and ventilation
Device: Regular Nasal CPAP using a conventional ventilator
The Nasal CPAP is connected to the patient via prongs in the nose. Pressure adjustments are made to improve lung inflation. The frequency and pressure can be adjusted as needed to improve the patient's oxygen and carbon dioxide levels
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: High Frequency Nasal CPAP
High Frequency Nasal CPAP for management of respiratory distress Patient will be connected to the high frequency device through nasal prongs. The pressure, frequency and amplitude of the pulsations will be adjusted as needed to provide acceptable oxygenation and ventilation
Device: High Frequency Nasal CPAP
High Frequency Nasal CPAP for management of respiratory distress Patient will be connected to the high frequency device through nasal prongs. The Bronchotron produces a pressure that is variable with an adjustable frequency that is equal or greater than 500 times per minute connecting to prongs in the patient's nose. The pressure, frequency and amplitude of the pulsations will be adjusted as needed to provide acceptable oxygenation and ventilation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Respiratory Index Score (RSI)
Time Frame: 72 hours after initiation of support
The scale is scored based on Fio2 (0 = <30%, 1 = 30-39%, 2 = 40-49%, 3 = > or equal to 50%), CPAP/Paw (0 = <6, 1 = 6-7, 2 = 7-8, 3 = >8), Spontaneous Respiratory Rate(RR) (0 = <40, 1 = 40-59, 2 = 60-79, 3 = > or equal to 80), Retractions (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe), and Apnea (0 = none, 1 = 1/2/2015, 2 = 3/4/2015, 3 = >4). Average index scores will be compared between conditions.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 19, 2016

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
