Perfusion Index Variability in Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Poor Peripheral Perfusion Clinical Trial

Official title: Perfusion Index Variability in Preterm Infants Treated With Two Different Natural Surfactants for Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Perfusion index may vary according to type of surfactant during the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome.

Clinical Trial Description

Peripheral tissues of preterm infants are very sensitive for hypoperfusion, but there are rare data in the literature for peripheral perfusion after surfactant treatment. In this study the investigators aimed to compare the perfusion index (PI) variability in premature infants with respiratory distress (RDS) following instillation of one of two different natural surfactant preparations. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
