Targeted vs Standard Fortification of Breast Milk

BPD - Bronchopulmonary DysplasiaNEC - Necrotizing Enterocolitis3 more

BACKGROUND: Human milk (HM) is recommended for all very low birth infants (VLBW)). Breast-milk is highly variable in nutrient content, failing to meet the nutritional demands of VLBW. Fortification of HM is recommended to prevent extra-uterine growth retardation and associated poor neurodevelopmental outcome. However, standard fortification with fixed dose multicomponent fortifier does not account for the variability in milk composition. Targeted fortification is a promising alternative and needs further investigation. The aim of the study is to evaluate if targeted fortification of human milk may optimize growth and development in preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized single blind controlled trial. METHODS & ANALYSIS: We will recruit preterm infants (≤ 32 weeks of gestation) within the first 7 days of life. After reaching 80 ml/kg/day of enteral feeding, patients will be randomised to receive standard fortification (HMF, Nutricia) or targeted fortification (modular components: Bebilon Bialko, Nutricia - protein, Fantomalt, Nutricia - carbohydrates, Calogen, Nutricia - lipids). The intervention will continue until 37 weeks of post-conception age, or hospital discharge. Parents and outcome assessors will be blinded to the intervention. The primary outcome - weight gain velocity will be measured starting from the day infants regain their birth weight up to 4 weeks, then weekly until discharge. Secondary outcomes such as neurodevelopment at 12 months of corrected age (CA) will be assessed with Bayley Scale of Development III, repeated at 36 months of CA. Additionally a Wescheler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence IV test will be applied at 3,5 years of CA. Secondary outcomes such as length and head growth, body composition will be assesed at discharge and at 4 months. Incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), sepsis, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) will also be followed.

Comparison of INRECSURE and LISA in Preterm Neonates With RDS

Respiratory Distress SyndromeBronchopulmonary Dysplasia

The primary hypothesis of this study is that surfactant administration by INtubate-RECruit-SURfactant-Extubate (IN-REC-SUR-E), via a high frequency oscillatory ventilation recruitment maneuver increases survival without BPD at 36 weeks' gestational age in spontaneously breathing infants born at 24+0-27+6 weeks' gestation affected by Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and failing nasal CPAP or nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) during the first 24 hours of life compared to less invasive surfactant administration (LISA).

Feasibility and Impact of Volume Targeted Ventilation in the Delivery Room

PrematurityBPD - Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia2 more

Despite significant improvement in preterm infant survival, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in infants born < 28 weeks gestational age (GA) has been relatively stable at ~40%, with 10,000-15,000 new cases estimated annually. Delivery room (DR) management of preterm infants during the initial resuscitation has a significant impact on future development of BPD. Current DR practice as recommended by the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), focuses on providing positive pressure ventilation (PPV) for intubated infants based on pressure limited ventilation (PLV). But with rapidly changing pulmonary compliance during the early newborn period, PLV may lead to under or over inflation of the lungs and induce significant volutrauma, barotrauma and/or atelectotrauma, all of which are associated in the pathogenesis of BPD. No studies have specifically reported tidal volume (TV) provided in the DR in intubated infants with current PLV practices. Similarly, no study has evaluated the safety and efficacy of volume targeted ventilation (VTV) in the DR and its impact on BPD. With the proposed study, in Phase I, the investigators aim to demonstrate that measuring TV in intubated infants receiving PPV via PLV is feasible. The investigators also seek to demonstrate that with PLV, TV is highly variable in the first few hours of life, even with the same peak inspiratory pressures (PiP) due to rapidly changing pulmonary compliance. A successful Phase I will demonstrate that measuring TV is feasible in the DR, and with information on real time actual TV achieved during PPV, it is possible to target the TV for a goal TV by adjusting the PiP provided. Phase II will be a pilot randomized control trial to demonstrate feasibility of VTV compared to PLV. The investigators will also aim to understand the pulmonary mechanics and physiology during VTV. A successful Phase II will demonstrate VTV is feasible, is associated with stable TV, decreased peak inspiratory pressure and oxygen needs compared to PLV, and not associated with increased complications compared to PLV. It will thereby justify a larger randomized control trial with enough power to evaluate the efficacy of VTV in reducing BPD and other long term pulmonary morbidities for preterm infants.

Inhaled Tobramycin in BPD

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

This study is an open-label, phase 1, sequential dose escalation trial seeking to establish preliminary tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic data for up to 4 different doses of inhaled tobramycin administered to very preterm infants with BPD who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and have a pathogenic Gram-negative organism detected by tracheal aspirate culture.

Effects of a Physical Therapy Intervention on Motor Delay in Infants Admitted to a Neonatal Intensive...

Motor DelayPremature Birth3 more

Study Aims Pilot study: Due to the large recruitment goal and length of the project, the study team/PIs will evaluate the first cohort of 6-10 participants to refine study procedures and study-related materials. If no major modifications are made to the protocol as a result of this evaluation, data from these participants will be included for analysis. Aim 1: Evaluate the efficacy of an early, evidence-based, clinical experience-based therapeutic intervention (from the NICU to 12-months corrected age) on improving motor function and reducing severity of motor delays in infants at 12-months corrected age. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention group will demonstrate an average 8-point difference (0.5 standard deviation) compared to the standard of care group. [an 8-point difference is considered a clinically meaningful difference] Aim 2: Evaluate the early effects (i.e., before 12 months) of a therapeutic intervention, provided from NICU to 12-months corrected age, on motor function and severity of motor delay. The Investigators hypothesize that a statistically significant higher percentage of infants in the intervention group will demonstrate improved motor function and reduced severity of motor delays, compared to the standard of care group-assessed using sensors, the NSMDA and TIMP-as early as 3-months corrected age. Aim 3: Evaluate whether an early intervention that focuses on caregiver engagement improves caregiver well-being. The invetigators hypothesize that an intervention that focuses on supporting and addressing the individual needs of the caregiver will improve caregiver well-being. The investigators will evaluate these effects using the PedsQL (Family Impact Module).

Neonatal Oxygen DesaturationPremature2 more

This research study is being done to investigate the effect of changing an infant's body position on how hard the baby works to breathe, the baby's oxygen level, the baby's carbon dioxide level, the baby's lung volume, the baby's lung compliance (ability of the lung to expand and fill with air), and how frequently the baby develops clinically significant events such as apnea (baby stops breathing on his own), bradycardia (low heart rate), and desaturation (low oxygen) events.

PAL to Improve Oral Feeding for Infants With Chronic Lung Disease

Chronic Lung Disease of PrematurityRespiratory Distress Syndrome in Premature Infant2 more

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the Pacifier Activated Lullaby (PAL) intervention on the transition to oral feeding for preterm infants with chronic lung disease and respiratory distress syndrome that require non-invasive respiratory support at 34 weeks PMA. This study will utilize a clinical trial design. Participants will be randomized into two groups. One group will receive the PAL intervention, the other group serving as a no contact control. Participants will be matched based on sex, gestational age at birth, and neurologic injury. Infants in the intervention group will receive two PAL sessions a week until successfully transitioned to <2L of respiratory support and then receive one PAL session within 24 hours of their first oral feeding attempt.
