About this study

Official title: Prophylactic CPAP/PEEP in Delivery Room (DR) Resuscitation, Effects on Natriuretic Peptide in the Prevention of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN): A Randomized Controlled Trial

Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN) is a disorder of delayed clearance of lung liquid and a common cause of admission of full term infants and late pre term infants (34 to 36 weeks) to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). Both late preterm gestational age at delivery, and mode of delivery are considered risk factors for TTN. The investigators hypothesize that CPAP administered prophylactically in the Delivery Room via a T piece based infant resuscitator Neopuff, to neonates at increased risk for TTN, would decrease the incidence of TTN and thus decrease the need for hospitalization in the NICU. This is a pilot study to evaluate the prophylactic administration of CPAP in the Delivery Room towards prevention of TTN and it's effects on natriuretic peptides.The study will be conducted as a randomized control trial after obtaining informed consents from the parents of eligible infants. Infants will be randomized to receive either experimental treatment (prophylactic CPAP) or standardized care.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measure of incidence of TTN

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Need for admissions to NICU secondary to TTN

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. levels of plasma brain natriuretic peptide compared

    • Duration of tachypnea
    • Duration of oxygen therapy
    • Length of hospital (NICU) stay

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prophylactic CPAP Administration in people with Transient Tachypnea, run by New York Hospital Queens at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure of incidence of TTN (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Oct 2015.
