Intubated Neonates That Require Conventional Ventilation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Open Versus Masked Distal EtCO2 Monitoring of Neonates Ventilated With Conventional Ventilation. A Randomized, Multi-Center Study
Primary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical implications of continuous distal CO2
monitoring when used for clinical decisions
Sub Study:
• Evaluate the average life time (duration) of Standard Carinal VitaLine set in comparison
to the Carinal VitaLine set that its sampling tubing is made of PEBAX (dehumidifying
material).
Description of Study Design:
Patients will be randomized at the baseline evaluation visit into one of the following
groups:
- Masked group: Data derived from the Capnostream20p will be recorded; however the
medical staff will be masked from it and hence will not use it.
- Open group: Data derived from the Capnostream20p and displayed to the medical team. It
will allow the treating physician and the nursing team to review the real time data and
make clinical decisions based upon it if felt necessary.
