About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Cerebral Hypoxia

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - 2 Days (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Very preterm infants with gestational age at least 23 weeks but less than 29 completed weeks
  • Less than 6 hours of age

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Skin integrity insufficient to allow placement of NIRS sensors
  • Decision not to provide full intensive care support
  • Congenital condition, other than premature birth, that adversely affects life expectancy or neurodevelopment

Sites / Locations

  • Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

No Intervention

Arm Label

Targeted Csats

Non-targeted Csats

Arm Description

Subjects randomized to the targeted Csat arm will have NIRS monitoring of cerebral saturations (Csat) and will have algorithm-driven clinical interventions to maintain Csat within target range in the first week of life.

Subjects randomized to the non-targeted Csat arm will have NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) monitoring of Csats, but Csat values will be obscured and not available to providers. These subjects will not have any algorithm-driven clinical interventions for Csat.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Neurodevelopmental outcome
Neurodevelopmental outcomes will be assessed using the cognitive component of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III at 22-26 months of age. Scores range from 55-145 with higher number representing a better neurodevelopmental outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Death
Death prior to hospital discharge
Retinopathy of prematurity
Occurrence of retinopathy of prematurity prior to hospital discharge

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Implementing target ranges for regional cerebral saturations in extremely preterm infants in the first week of life may improve neurodevelopmental outcomes at 22-26 months corrected age compared to those without targeted cerebral saturations (Csat) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Infants will be randomized to a targeted cerebral saturation monitoring group with visible reading of Csat or to a control group with cerebral saturation monitoring, but with blinded Csat measures. Those in the targeted Csat group will follow a treatment guideline to maintain cerebral oxygenation in the target range. The primary outcome is neurodevelopmental outcome as determined by Bayley III cognitive scale score.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

Arm Title
Targeted Csats
Arm Type
Active Comparator
Arm Description
Subjects randomized to the targeted Csat arm will have NIRS monitoring of cerebral saturations (Csat) and will have algorithm-driven clinical interventions to maintain Csat within target range in the first week of life.
Arm Title
Non-targeted Csats
Arm Type
No Intervention
Arm Description
Subjects randomized to the non-targeted Csat arm will have NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) monitoring of Csats, but Csat values will be obscured and not available to providers. These subjects will not have any algorithm-driven clinical interventions for Csat.
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
Clinical algorithm
Intervention Description
In order to maintain cerebral saturations within targeted range, subjects in the targeted Csat arm will undergo clinical interventions based on clinical algorithm. Interventions may include administration of inotropes, fluid resuscitation, transfusion of blood products, and/or adjustment to respiratory support.
