Clinical Trial: Flow and Grow - The Ideal Time to Wean CPAP Off In Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Neonatal Respiratory Failure
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Flow and Grow - A CPAP Management Strategy for Preterm Infants to Support Lung Growth. A Randomized, Prospective, Multi-center Study
Brief Summary:
Preterm neonates born at less than 30 weeks' gestation are commonly maintained on invasive or non-invasive respiratory support to facilitate gas exchange.While non-invasive respiratory support (NIS) can be gradually reduced over time as the infant grows, most weaning strategies often lead to weaning failure.This failure is evidenced by an increase in significant events such as apneas, desaturations, and/or bradycardias, increased work of breathing, or an inability to oxygenate or ventilate, resulting in…
