NCT ID: NCT05686252 Completed - Premature Birth Clinical Trials

RCT: The Effect of Held Position During Kangaroo Care on Physiological Parameters of Premature Infants

Start date: May 16, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this superiority crossover randomised controlled trial is to investigate whether there is an optimal position at which to perform kangaroo mother care (KMC) in extremely preterm infants in the NICU. The main question it aims to answer is: 1) is there an optimal position for an infant to be held during KMC and 2) to optimise benefits for infants receiving KMC. Participants will be: 1) randomised into two groups which determine which angle they will start at first, 2) assessed over two hour-long sessions on different days with a change in the angle at the 30 minute point, 3) monitored using a Massimo NIRS machine which will record oxygen saturations, cerebral NIRS values and heart rates, and 4) monitored for any episodes of desaturations and bradycardias during this time. Participants will then be assessed beginning with the the other angle first on a different day. The researchers will then compare the two groups to see if being held at a 30 degrees during KMC is superior to being held at 60 degrees in terms of physiological stability.

NCT ID: NCT05146752 Completed - Clinical trials for Extremely Low Birth Weight

The Effect of Schumann Resonance on Preterm Newborns

Start date: June 8, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Body weight gain is crucial for preterm newborns, especially those with a low birth weight. Owing to their noninvasive, noncontact, and non-pharmaceutical properties, extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) are a promising medium of alternative and complementary therapy.

NCT ID: NCT05022433 Completed - Clinical trials for Very Low Birth Weight Infant

Comparison of the Shukla and UN-1 Formulae in the Placement of the Umbilical Venous Catheter Among Neonates

Start date: June 6, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Umbilical vein catheters (UVC) are commonly inserted in newborns especially neonates admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).These catheters are used since 1959. It is a suitable method for parenteral nutrition access and medications administration. Despite the benefits of the UVC, its potential complications must be considered. Thus, it is vital to determine the appropriate penetration length of the UVC.

NCT ID: NCT04587934 Completed - Premature Infant Clinical Trials

Time to Accurate Heart Rate on Neonatal Outcomes

GE-EKG
Start date: February 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this trial is to compare the time to first heart rate displayed for iRes Warmer with ResusView and using iRes Warmer without ResusView when used in the resuscitation (e.g. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or breathing assistance) of premature newborns (23 to 32+6 weeks gestation).

NCT ID: NCT03886844 Completed - Weight Gain Clinical Trials

Growth and Weight Gain in ELBW Infants Fed an Exclusively Human Milk Based Diet With Prolacta®

Start date: December 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Preterm infants are susceptible to postnatal growth restriction. Breast milk is the recommended source of nutrition for preterm infants. As preterm infants have enhanced nutritional requirements, multicomponent fortifiers are added to breast milk in order to establish adequate growth. Due to the various benefits of human milk feds to preterm infants, a human milk fortifier based on donor milk (Prolact+6 H2MF® Prolacta, City of Industry, California) has been developed. With this study, the investigators want to evaluate the effect of human milk fortification on weight gain in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW, <1000g birth weight) in comparison to bovine fortification.
