Clinical Trial: Non-Invasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) Prone vs Supine in Premature Infants
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Neonatal Oxygen Desaturation
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Effect of Body Position on Oxygenation, Ventilation, and Diaphragmatic Workload in Premature Infants on Non-Invasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA)
Brief Summary:
This research study is being done to investigate the effect of changing an infant's body position on how hard the baby works to breathe, the baby's oxygen level, the baby's carbon dioxide level, the baby's lung volume, the baby's lung compliance (ability of the lung to expand and fill with air), and how frequently the baby develops clinically significant events such as apnea (baby stops breathing on his own), bradycardia (low heart rate), and desaturation (low oxygen) events.
