About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Respiratory Distress Syndrome focused on measuring weaning, NCPAP, Preterm, sudden wean, gradual pressure off wean

Eligibility Criteria

26 Weeks - 32 Weeks (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All neonates born 26 to 32 weeks of gestational age

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Those with severe congenital anomalies and chromosomal defects including congenital heart disease, neurological malformations, chest and airway abnormalities and lung hypoplasia

Sites / Locations

  • Maimonides medcial center

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

No Intervention

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Sudden wean

Gradual pressure wean

Arm Description

When ready Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) will be removed from the neonate

NCPAP will be removed by gradually decreasing pressure over 24 hours once the weaning is decided

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Success of weaning on first trial off NCPAP

Secondary Outcome Measures

Weight and corrected GA when come off oxygen
Weight and corrected gestational age (GA) when neonates could come off NCPAP

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To compare the 2 methods of weaning of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in premature babies born between 26 and 32 weeks
Detailed Description
To study the weight and the post menstrual age (PMA) at the time of NCPAP wean utilizing the method of sudden wean as compared to gradual wean. Methods: A prospective randomized trial was conducted comparing sudden weaning with gradual weaning from NCPAP in neonates with gestational age between 26 and 32 weeks. The patients were randomized to one of the two methods of weaning from NCPAP and their success was compared
