Filter by:This study will establish a nationwide cohort of very preterm infants in China, to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and short-term outcomes of BPD in different NICUs around the country.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Genesis Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging system for use in pediatric respiratory disease populations including neuromuscular and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as in age and height matched controls. The EIT does not use radiation, and is read through electrodes.
Single-center, randomised controlled, cross-over clinical trial in preterm infants born at gestational age below 34+1/7 weeks receiving supplemental oxygen and respiratory support (continous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or invasive ventilation (IV)). Routine manual control (RMC) of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) will be tested against RMC supported by automatic control (SPOC) with "old"-algorithm and RMC supported by CLAC with "new"-algorithm. The first primary hypothesis is, that the use of the "new" algorithm results in more time within arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) target range compared to RMC only. The a-priori subordinate hypothesis is, that the new algorithm results in more time within SpO2 target range compared to SPOCold. The second primary hypothesis is, that the use of 2 seconds averaging time of the SpO2 Signal results in more time within arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) target range compared to the use of 8 seconds averaging interval of the SpO2 signal.
BACKGROUND: Human milk (HM) is recommended for all very low birth infants (VLBW)). Breast-milk is highly variable in nutrient content, failing to meet the nutritional demands of VLBW. Fortification of HM is recommended to prevent extra-uterine growth retardation and associated poor neurodevelopmental outcome. However, standard fortification with fixed dose multicomponent fortifier does not account for the variability in milk composition. Targeted fortification is a promising alternative and needs further investigation. The aim of the study is to evaluate if targeted fortification of human milk may optimize growth and development in preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized single blind controlled trial. METHODS & ANALYSIS: We will recruit preterm infants (≤ 32 weeks of gestation) within the first 7 days of life. After reaching 80 ml/kg/day of enteral feeding, patients will be randomised to receive standard fortification (HMF, Nutricia) or targeted fortification (modular components: Bebilon Bialko, Nutricia - protein, Fantomalt, Nutricia - carbohydrates, Calogen, Nutricia - lipids). The intervention will continue until 37 weeks of post-conception age, or hospital discharge. Parents and outcome assessors will be blinded to the intervention. The primary outcome - weight gain velocity will be measured starting from the day infants regain their birth weight up to 4 weeks, then weekly until discharge. Secondary outcomes such as neurodevelopment at 12 months of corrected age (CA) will be assessed with Bayley Scale of Development III, repeated at 36 months of CA. Additionally a Wescheler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence IV test will be applied at 3,5 years of CA. Secondary outcomes such as length and head growth, body composition will be assesed at discharge and at 4 months. Incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), sepsis, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) will also be followed.
This study is an open-label, single-center, dose escalation study to evaluate of safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord -derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) in premature infants at high risk for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia（BPD）
The investigators are wanting to learn more about early development of the lungs and to help them better understand prematurity and the development of a breathing disorder call BPD (Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia)
The clinical study with UMC119-01 is designed to investigate the safety in patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia ("BPD"). This will be a dose escalation, open-label, single-center study in infants at high risk for BPD.
Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is an effective treatment for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in term and near-term infants. Preterm infants are at risk for early PH that is associated with high risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia or death. In multiple clinical trials, iNO treatment was not effective for BPD prevention. However, infants were not screened for PH and iNO treatment was not targeted for PH. iNO treatment for PH in preterm infants is controversial due to lack of evidence. The study team hypothesizes that early diagnosis of PH (72-96 hours of life) and iNO treatment will decrease the incidence of death and bronchopulmonary dysplasia and improve oxygenation in extremely preterm infants. 1. To determine if iNO treatment of extremely preterm infants with early pulmonary hypertension as established with echocardiographic evidence at 72-96 hours of age will decrease incidence of death or BPD. 2. To determine if iNO treatment of extremely preterm infants with early PH will decrease the pulmonary artery pressure and improve oxygenation within 72 hours of intervention.
This study is an open-label, single-center, dose escalation study to evaluate of safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord -derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) in premature infants for moderate and severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia（BPD）.
Premature newborns (PTNB) often develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) which can be related to an inability to maintain differences in tonus patterns (extensor and flexor) between the cervical muscles, upper and lower limbs. Babies who develop BPD remain in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for a prolonged period of time, undergoing a large number of painful procedures. Exposure to pain in premature newborns (PTNB) is one of the most damaging factors in the extrauterine environment, also causing stress, which can also interfere with tonus pattern. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of hydrotherapy on muscular activity, pain, sleep and wakefulness, stress, physiological conditions and the need for oxygen in PTNB with BPD during hospitalization in the neonatal unit. EXPECTED RESULTS: Hydrotherapy is expected to relieve pain, improve sleep quality and reduce oxygen therapy and ventilatory support in hospitalized PTNB babies with BPD.
