Automated Versus Manual Control Of Oxygen For Preterm Infants On Continuous Positive Airway Pressure...

Neonatal Respiratory Distress Related ConditionsNeonatal Respiratory Failure2 more

One in ten babies are born preterm (<37 weeks gestation) globally. Complications of prematurity are the leading cause of death in children under 5 years, with the highest mortality rate in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Low flow oxygen, and respiratory support - where an oxygen/air mixture is delivered under pressure - are life saving therapies for these babies. Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (bCPAP) is the mainstay of neonatal respiratory support in SSA. Oxygen in excess can damage the immature eyes (Retinopathy of Prematurity [ROP]) and lungs (Chronic Lung Disease) of preterm babies. Historically, in well-resourced settings, excessive oxygen administration to newborns has been associated with 'epidemics' of ROP associated blindness. Today, with increasing survival of preterm babies in SSA, and increasing access to oxygen and bCPAP, there are concerns about an emerging epidemic of ROP. Manually adjusting the amount of oxygen provided to an infant on bCPAP is difficult, and fearing the risks of hypoxaemia (low oxygen levels) busy health workers often accept hyperoxaemia (excessive oxygen levels). Some well resourced neonatal intensive care units globally have adopted Automated Oxygen Control (AOC), where a computer uses a baby's oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO2) to frequently adjust how much oxygen is provided, targetting a safe SpO2 range. This technology has never been tested in SSA, or partnered with bCPAP devices that would be more appropriate for SSA. This study aims to compare AOC coupled with a low cost and robust bCPAP device (Diamedica Baby CPAP) - OxyMate - with manual control of oxygen for preterm babies on bCPAP in two hospitals in south west Nigeria. The hypothesis is that OxyMate can significantly and safely increase the proportion of time preterm infants on bCPAP spend in safe oxygen saturation levels.

Efficacy and Safety of Trimodulin (BT588) in Subjects With Moderate or Severe COVID-19

COVID-19 PneumoniaCOVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome4 more

The main objectives of the trial are to assess the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as adjunctive treatment to standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in adult hospitalized subjects with moderate or severe COVID-19. Other objectives are to determine pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of trimodulin.

Open Lung Strategy, Gas Distribution and Right Heart Function in ARDS Patients

ARDSHuman7 more

The goal of this interventional crossover study, in intubated and mechanically ventilated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients, is to compare two positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration techniques regarding: respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, changes in aeration, ventilation/perfusion matching its impact on cardiac function, especially the right heart (RH). The PEEP titration techniques are: PEEP selection based on low PEEP/high FiO2 table ("PEEPARDSnet") and lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) plus PEEPdec titration based on the best compliance of the respiratory system("PEEPLRM").

Respiratory Effect of the LISA Method With Sedation by Propofol Versus Absence of Sedation.

Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Premature Infant

The investigators propose to evaluate premedication with Propofol compared to a control strategy including a placebo with a possible rescue treatment with ketamine to ensure pain control before LISA Procedure . Investigators hypothesize that sedation with Propofol is safe and non-inferior to placebo for the risk of Mechanical Ventilation in the 72 hours following the procedure.

Careful Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (COVID-19 and Non-COVID-19)

ARDS

This is a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial with an adaptive design assessing the efficacy of setting the ventilator based on measurements of respiratory mechanics (recruitability and effort) to reduce Day 60 mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The CAVIARDS study is also a basket trial; a basket trial design examines a single intervention in multiple disease populations. CAVIARDS consists of an identical 2-arm mechanical ventilation protocol implemented in two different study populations (COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients). As per a typical basket trial design, the operational structure of both the COVID-19 substudy (CAVIARDS-19) and non-COVID-19 substudy (CAVIARDS-all) is shared (recruitment, procedures, data collection, analysis, management, etc.).

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).

LISA in the Delivery Room for Extremely Preterm Infants

Extreme PrematurityRespiratory Distress Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of LISA used in the delivery room (DR) in decreasing the intubation rates in preterm infants at 22-25 weeks gestational age (GA), during first 72 hours compared to the standard approach of stabilization on nasal CPAP in the DR and administering surfactant in the NICU. Infants in both groups will be resuscitated per NRP algorithm. Infants who maintain a stable HR and respiratory effort on CPAP will qualify for the intervention. Infants in Group 1 (Intervention arm) will receive LISA in DR. CPAP will be titrated between 5-8 cm H20 after LISA. Infants in Group 2 (Control arm) will be transferred to NICU on CPAP. The CPAP level will be increased stepwise every 30 minutes to 7 cm H2O if FiO2 ≥0.3. Infants requiring CPAP 7 at FiO2 ≥0.3 will receive LISA. CPAP will be titrated between 5-8 cm H20 after LISA. Infants in both arms requiring CPAP 7 and FiO2 >0.8 at 20 MOL in the delivery room will be intubated in DR. Any infant with a heart rate not responding with appropriate PPV will be intubated in the DR. CXR will be obtain on admission and umbilical lines will be placed. Infants in both arm who require FiO2 ≥0.6 for ≥1 hour, apnea requiring stimulation 3 times within one hour or ≥6 over 6 hour period, any apnea requiring PPV, or CO2 >0.65 in two consecutive blood gases drawn over two hours will be considered as reasons for intubation after LISA. Primary outcome is the need for MV within 72 hours of life, secondary outcome includes need for MV during first week of life and during hospital stay, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP), need for treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), composite death or BPD and mortality. This is a feasibility trial with the intention to enroll 30 infants in each arm of the study over three years.

Identification and Treatment of Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure and ARDS With Protection, Paralysis,...

Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeHypoxemic Respiratory Failure2 more

Treatment of patients with Hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is complex. Therapies that have been shown to save the lives of patients with HRF and ARDS are available but they are not always provided. To reduce practice variation and improve adherence to evidence-informed therapies, the investigators developed the Treatment of Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure and ARDS with Protection, Paralysis, and Proning (TheraPPP) Pathway. The overall objective of TheraPPP Pathway is to improve the quality of care for patients with HRF. Implementation of the pathway across Alberta will test the effectiveness and implementation of the TheraPPP Pathway.
