A Trial Comparing Noninvasive Ventilation Strategies in Preterm Infants Following Extubation
Intubated Infants Were Intend to Extubation Using Noninvasive Ventilation Strategies
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Intubated Infants Were Intend to Extubation Using Noninvasive Ventilation Strategies focused on measuring nasal high frequency oscillation ventilation(NHFOV), nasal continuous positive airway pressure(NCPAP), nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation(NIPPV), neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS), preterm infants
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- gestational age between 25+0 and 32+6 weeks;
- birth weight more than 600 g;
- supported with any type of endotracheal ventilation;
- Has not had first attempt at extubation(extubation readiness requires fulfilling of all the following criteria: a. Having received at least one loading dose of 20 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg daily maintenance dose of caffeine citrate; b. pH>7.20 PaCO2<=60 mmHg (these may be evaluated by arterialized capillary blood gas analysis or appropriately calibrated transcutaneous monitors. Venous blood gas values cannot be used); c. Paw <=7-8 cmH2O; d. FiO2<=0.30; e. sufficient spontaneous breathing effort, as per clinical evaluation).;
- Obtained parental consent. Informed consent will be obtained antenatally or upon neonatal intensive care unit admission.;
Exclusion Criteria:
- major congenital anomalies or chromosomal abnormalities;
- Presence of neuromuscular disease;
- Upper respiratory tract abnormalities; ;
- need for surgery known before the first extubation;
- Grade IV-intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) occurring before the first extubation
- congenital lung diseases or malformations or pulmonary hypoplasia
Sites / Locations
- Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University

NHFOV

NIPPV
neonates assigned to NHFOV will be started with the following boundaries: a) Paw of 10 cmH2O (can be changed in steps of 1 cmH2O within the range range 5- 16cmH2O); Paw will be titrated (within the range) according to open lung strategy, performing alveolar recruitment, similar to what is done in endotracheal high frequency oscillatory ventilation targeting a FiO2≤25-30%. Maximal allowed FiO2 will be 0.40 and SpO2 targets will be 90%-95%. b) frequency of 10Hz(can be changed in steps of 1Hz within the range 8-12Hz). c)Inspiratory time 50% (1:1).d)amplitude 25 cmH2O(can be changed in steps of 5 cmH2O within the range 25-50 cmH2o; amplitude will be titrated according to PaCO2.
Neonates assigned to the CPAP group were initiated on a pressure of 5 cmH2O. CPAP can be raised in steps of 1 cmH2O up to 8 cmH2O. If this is not enough to maintain SpO2 between 90% and 95%, FiO2 will be added up to 0.40.
neonates assigned to the NIPPV group will be started with the following parameters: a) positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 4 cmH2O (can be raised in steps of 1 cmH2O to max 8 cmH2O, according to the oxygenation).b)Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) of 15 cmH2O (can be raised in steps of 1 cmH2O to max 25 cmH2O, according to oxygenation,PaCO2 levels and the chest expansion); maximal allowed FiO2 will be 0.40 and SpO2 targets will be 90-95%. c) inspiratory time (IT) will be 0.45 - 0.5 sec(according to clinicians' evaluation of leaks and the appearance of the pressure curve: a small pressure plateau is required and flow may be set accordingly) and rate will be started at 30 bpm (can be raised in steps of 5 bpm to max 50 bpm, according to PaCO2 levels).
