Clinical Trial Summary

Primary aims of the study are to evaluate the feasibility of Skin conductance (SC) measurements and its correlation to Neonatal Pain and Distress Scale (N-PASS) - scores during the Less-Invasive-Surfactant-Administration (LISA)-procedure in preterm infants. Secondary aims are to evaluate the effect of LISA on the general stress-level in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The assessment of pain and stress with SC measurement in addition to the subjective assessment with N-PASS may provide more conclusive data on the sensation of pain or stress during the LISA procedure and therefore the necessity of analgosedation. Therefore, this study might help to identify those infants in need for analgosedation, which would allow an individualized approach in the future.

Intervention

Other:
• Skin Conductance (SC) Measurement
SC will be measured using a specific monitor and three self-adhesive electrodes on one foot of the infant (one plantar and two on the ankles). Peaks per second (the rate of firing in the sympathetic nerves), average amplitude (mean peaks) and area under curve (forcefulness of sympathetic nerve firing) will be automatically analyzed. Corresponding data will be transferred to a separate tablet computer via bluetooth.
• Video Recording
The video recording for later N-PASS assessment will be done by a camera fixed above the incubator / resuscitation unit, not interfering with the LISA procedure. The video will show the full body of the newborn as well as the hands / forearms of the treating clinical team with the awareness and oral consent of the treating team.

Outcome
Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Median peaks per second at prespecified time-points adjusted for median peaks per second at baseline The prespecified time-points are:
baseline: before starting of interventions (2 minutes recording without any intervention);
insertion of nasopharyngeal tube;
insertion of laryngoscope for visualization of the vocal cords;
insertion of LISA catheter
administration of surfactant
removal of catheter
5 minutes after removal of catheter (2 minutes recording without any intervention)
1 hour (±10 minutes) after LISA (2 minutes recording without any intervention)		 2 minutes before LISA, during LISA, 1 hour (±10 minutes) after LISA
Secondary Median Neonatal Pain, Agitation and Sedation Scale (N-PASS) at prespecified time-points, adjusted for median N-PASS at baseline The N-PASS serves as a tool for evaluating pain and sedation levels in newborns. In the context of this study, the focus is solely on assessing pain. Five criteria, including crying, behavior, facial expression, extremity tone and vital signs, are rated on a scale of 0 to 2 points each. These individual scores are then added up to calculate a total pain score, which falls within the range of 0 to 10. A higher total score correlates with a higher level of perceived pain.
The prespecified time-points, at which the N-PASS will be assessed, are:
baseline: before starting of interventions
during insertion of laryngoscope for visualization of the vocal cords
administration of surfactant
5 minutes after removal of catheter
