Neonates Needing Resuscitation at Birth Clinical Trial
Official title:
Does Personal Protective Equipment for the Prevention of SARS-Cov-2 Infection Impact the Timing of Ventilation in Neonates Needing Resuscitation at Birth? A Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial
There has been an increasing number of SARS-CoV-2 infections in pregnant women and neonates. Interventions including open airway suctioning, positive pressure ventilation, non-invasive respiratory support, tracheal intubation, and endotracheal drug administration are aerosol-generating medical procedures and may create a risk to the unprotected healthcare providers. The impact of using personal protective equipment during neonatal resuscitation maneuvers is unknown. The objective of this study will be to compare the beginning of PPV and the duration of intubation between performing resuscitation with PPE for the prevention of SARS-Cov-2 infection and resuscitation without PPE for the prevention of SARS-Cov-2 infection.
