Study Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: Premature Infants
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Optimization of Saturation Targets And Resuscitation (OptiSTART): Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary:
This study is designed to answer one of the fundamental gaps in knowledge in the resuscitation of preterm infants at birth: What is the optimal target oxygen saturation (SpO2) range that increases survival without long-term morbidities?Oxygen (O2) is routinely used for the stabilization of preterm infants in the delivery room (DR), but its use is linked with mortality and several morbidities including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).To balance the need to give sufficient O2 to correct hypoxia and avoid excess O2,…
