Sleep in SNOO Smart Sleeper Bassinet in Preterm Infants

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare sleeping in a SNOO Smart Sleeper bassinet (SNOO) with sleeping in traditional bassinet conditions in premature infants. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do preterm infants who sleep in the SNOO have more quiet sleep? 2. Do preterm infants who sleep in the SNOO have improved vital signs? - Participants will spend two separate three-hour periods sleeping in either a SNOO (which plays white noise and rocks from side-to-side) or in a SNOO that remains off (does not play white noise and does not move). There will be at least one week separating these sleep assessments. - Participants will have their sleep stage and vital signs monitored (heart rate and oxygen levels). - Participants will also wear two stickers on their forehead that measure brain oxygen levels (NIRS) and brain waves (EEG). There is a chance that the infant may experience more restful sleep and improved vital signs during the 2 sleep assessments.

Clinical Trial Description

Sleep plays an important role in the brain growth and development of preterm infants. Neonatal sleep is made up of three stages of sleep: quiet sleep, active sleep, and transitional sleep. Poor sleep can be a result of premature birth itself as well as from simply being in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) environment. The interruptions that these infants are exposed to include frequent cares, physical exams, lights, and noises. The investigators are interested in the potential positive effects on sleep of recreating the environment of the womb. The SNOO is a bassinet that uses the combination of a secure swaddle, white noise, and gentle rocking movements to mimic the conditions that infants were exposed to in the uterus before being born. The investigators are interested in studying how recreating this environment of "within the womb" impacts the sleep-wake cycles of premature infants. To do this, the investigators will measure the amount of time that premature infants spent asleep versus awake while in the SNOO through behavior observations, electroencephalogram (brain activity monitoring), and vital signs. The investigators hypothesize that sleeping in the SNOO will increase the amount of time that the premature infants spend in quiet sleep and will improve their vital signs. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

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.
