Clinical Trial Summary

The object of this study is to determine the best way to care for infants with respiratory distress. The investigators are testing a method of feeding fluids to infants with respiratory distress in amounts similar to what healthy breastfed babies eat when they are feeding on demand, and comparing this method to the current standard of care for feeding fluids to infants with respiratory distress. These methods of feeding fluids to the study infants will continue until the infants are able to feed normally by mouth. The study will include about 400 infants across five sites in the United States, Chile and Argentina.


Clinical Trial Description

Infants with respiratory distress syndrome will be enrolled within the first twelve hours of life, and randomly assigned to one of two groups: the first group will receive the interventional fluid management method, and the second (the control group) will receive the current standard of care for fluid management. To standardize respiratory care across all five study sites, a computer-based algorithm for respiratory support management based on objective markers of respiratory distress will guide clinician management decisions. However, each infant's medical team will make all final decisions on respiratory treatment and IV fluid management. Any study infant who experiences dehydration and/or low blood sugar during the course of the study will be removed from the study and be treated for the condition. ;
