NCT03256578

Brief Summary

This is a randomized trial to determine if a visible respiratory function monitor (RFM) displaying realtime measurements of delivered inflations improves clinical providers ability to perform positive pressure ventilation (PPV) within a pre-defined target tidal volume in preterm infants after birth.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Positive-Pressure Ventilation Inflations Between 4 - 8 Mls/kg

    To test the hypothesis that observing the data and waveforms displayed on an RFM during the provision of PPV to preterm infants (24-27 6/7 weeks gestation) after birth will increase the percentage of inflations performed with a predefined VTe "safe range" of 4 - 8 mls/kg.

    the first 15 minutes of resuscitation

Secondary Outcomes (25)

  • Percentage of Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) in the First 5 Minutes of Life

    approximately first 5 minutes of life

  • Heart Rate in the First 10 Minutes of Life

    between 3 and 10 minutes of life

  • Percentage of Time With Mask Leak During PPV Ventilation

    approximately first 15 minutes of resuscitation

  • Percentage of PPV Inflations With Airway Obstruction

    approximately first 15 minutes of resuscitation

  • Percentage of PPV Inflations With Inadequate Tidal Volume

    approximately first 15 minutes of resuscitation

  • +20 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

RFM visible

EXPERIMENTAL

During resuscitation immediately following delivery the providers involved in the care of enrolled eligible infants can see the information displayed on the New Life Box Respiratory Function Monitor screen.

Device: New Life Box Respiratory Function Monitor

RFM masked

NO INTERVENTION

During resuscitation immediately following delivery the providers involved in the care of enrolled eligible infants cannot see the information displayed on the New Life Box Respiratory Function Monitor screen. Though the display is masked, data is collected in the background.

Interventions

The intervention is the use of a visible New Life Box Respiratory Function Monitor display in infants born between 24 and 27 6/7 weeks gestation receiving PPV for resuscitation after birth.

RFM visible

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Gestational age (GA) 24 - 27 6/7 weeks at birth, by best obstetrical
