Hypernatremia of Newborn clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Comparison of the Isotonic and Hypotonic Intravenous Maintenance Fluids In Term Newborns: Neofluid Study

NEOFLUID

Start date: December 30, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Considering the physiological changes in fluid and electrolyte balance and providing proper support are one of the important aspects of neonatal intensive care. Maintenance intravenous fluids are designed to maintain homeostasis when a patient is unable to uptake required water, electrolytes, and energy. Hypotonic fluids are still the most commonly prescribed IV fluids for pediatric hospitalized patients. However, previous studies, including children older than one month of age revealed that traditionally used hypotonic fluids may lead to hyponatremia. Because of the absence of evidence-based data, there is currently no clear consensus on the optimal composition of maintenance intravenous fluid therapy in newborns, leading to wide practice variation. The National Clinical Guideline Center (NICE) 2015 recommends the use of isotonic fluids in term newborn infants and some newborn centers has begun to use isotonic fluids since guidelines recommendations. Since the publication of the NICE guideline, no studies have addressed this topic. In this prospective, observational , multicentric study, conventional hypotonic fluids containing sodium chloride (NaCl) < 130 mmol/L compared with isotonic fluids (containing NaCl between 131-154 mmol/L) in terms of the risk of hyponatremia, hypernatremia, plasma sodium (pNa) level change, treatment morbidities, hospitalization duration and mortality.
