NCT05002478 | Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: 1426/2021
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 14
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The main objective is to determine the short-term effect of prone positioning in infants with infection-associated severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. The investigators compare oxygenation parameters and measurements from electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and lung ultrasonography (LUS) in mechanically ventilated infants in prone position versus supine position after surfactant administration.

Conditions

Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS); Surfactant Dysfunction; Infant

Keywords

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome; Electrical Impedance Tomography; Lung Ultrasonography; Prone Position; Infants

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Oxygenation saturation index

  Oxygenation saturation index (OSI) defined by \[FiO2 x mean airway pressure x 100\]/Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) in millibar \[mbar\] (wean FiO2 to maintain SpO2 ≤ 97% to calculate OSI). OSI values will be calculated after a stable value of SpO2 and mean airway pressure (MAP) will be reached (see ventilation management). The OSI gradient will be calculated as follows: 100\*((OSI (0) - OSI (6h)) / OSI (0) = change of OSI in %. OSI (0) accounts for the OSI prior to the prone position (intervention) and OSI (6h) accounts for the OSI six hours after the intervention.

  Change from baseline oxygenation saturation index at 6 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Chang in Lung Ultrasound

  Change from baseline LUS score at 6 hours

• Change in the Distribution of the End-Expiratory Lung Volume

  Change from baseline EELV at 6 hours

• Change in the Distribution of the Tidal Volume

  Change from baseline tidal volume at 6 hours
