Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the Owlet Smart Sock 3 wireless pulse oximeter performance in assessing the heart rate and oxygen saturation in neonatal population, while measuring the same parameter with a standard wired pulse oximeter simultaneously. The monitoring duration with the study device will be a maximum of 60 minutes, after which the recorded data from the Owlet Smart Sock 3 and the standard wired pulse oximeters will be de-identified and analyzed.
Infants are at risk of developing motor and cognitive neurodevelopmental disabilities as a sequelae to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury during the perinatal period. It is an ongoing challenge to predict the severity and extent of future developmental impairment during the neonatal period. This study will help test the feasibility of conducting a large-scale study that evaluates the role of diffuse optical tomography as a bedside neuroimaging tool in complementing the prognostic value of conventional and diffusion weighted MRI for predicting neurodevelopmental outcome in neonates with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
Purpose of Study: Apnoea of Prematurity (AOP) is common, affecting the majority of infants born <34 weeks gestational age (GA). Apnea is accompanied by intermittent hypoxia (IH), which contributes to multiple pathologies, including retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), sympathetic ganglia injury, impaired pancreatic islet cell and bone development, and neurodevelopmental disabilities. Standard of care for AOP/IH includes prone positioning, positive pressure ventilation, and caffeine therapy. The objective of this device is to provide an adjunct to current AoP treatment to support breathing in premature infants by using a simple, non-invasive vibratory device placed over limb proprioceptor fibers, an intervention using the principle that limb movements facilitate breathing. Methods Used: Premature infants (27+6 - 34+6 weeks GA) with clinical confirmed weeks with diagnosis of Apnoea of Prematurity. Caffeine therapy was not a reason for exclusion. Small vibration devices were placed on one hand and one foot and activated in a 6 hour ON/OFF sequence for a total of 24 hours. Heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and breathing pauses were continuously collected.
This study is being conducted to compare the incidence of preterm infants (up to 28+6 weeks GA) who achieve a peripheral oxygen saturation of 80 percent by 5 minutes of life (MOL) given mask CPAP/PPV with an FiO2 of 1.0 during DCC for 90 seconds (HI Group) to infants given mask CPAP/PPV with an FiO2 of .30 during DCC for 90 seconds (LO Group).
The primary purpose of this observational study was to determine if pRBC transfusions decrease the frequency of intermittent hypoxia events in very low birth weight infants (VLBW) during the first six weeks of life. The impact on non-pRBC transfusions on the frequency of intermittent hypoxia was also assessed.
Intermittent episodes of hypoxemia and/or bradycardia, also defined as cardio-respiratory events (CRE) are very frequent in preterm infants and may result in transient hypoxia and hypoperfusion of target organs, with possible clinical implications. The hemodynamic instability that characterizes the first 72 hours of life, also called as transitional period, place preterm infants at high risk of complications and may contribute to enhance fluctuations in end-organ perfusion and oxygenation induced by CRE. In this study we aimed to explore cardiovascular and cerebrovascular changes determined by different CRE types in preterm infants during the transitional period.
The study is to investigate the feasibility and safety of autologous umbilical cord blood transfusion to treat the newborn infants with presence of clinical indications of neonatal hypoxic-ischemia encephalopathy (HIE) and anemia. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is collected following labor and is transfused intravenously within 48 hours after the birth. Newborn infant without UCB available recieves the standard care will be enrolled as control group. Following the autologous UCB transfusion in the study group or standard care in the control group, HIE subjects will be followed for 2 years for survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes and anemia subjects will be followed for 6 months to assess the survival and change of hematocrit and hemoglobin levels.
