Telemedicine to Improve Use of Therapeutic Hypothermia in Rural Settings

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot intervention trial will assess the feasibility of a live consultation between community hospital providers and tertiary care providers employing a novel teleconsult platform, Maine Neonatal Encephalopathy Teleconsult (Maine NET), on the time to initiation of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for 35 infants born in community hospitals in Maine compared with matched historical controls. Community hospital providers and tertiary care center provider satisfaction with the Maine NET platform will also be assessed. The hypothesis is that immediately available expert assessment via a teleconsult platform will promote earlier implementation of TH and be associated with high levels of provider satisfaction.

Clinical Trial Description

The study will recruit a total of 125 infants from the participating centers and anticipate that 35 of these subjects will be treated with therapeutic hypothermia and be utilized for the comparative analysis to historical controls. Not all infants recruited and provided a Maine NET consultation will be treated with TH and to have an adequate sample size to make statistical comparisons with historical controls we need to enroll more than 35 participants to ensure 35 have been treated with TH for the comparative analysis. In a secondary qualitative study, clinicians who completed Maine NET consults through the above clinical trial were interviewed about their experience with the consult. This secondary study will recruit up to 20 clinicians who completed a consult in this clinical trial. ;
