About this study

Official title: The Influence of Two Different Premedication Protocols for Endotracheal Intubation in Neonates on Cerebral Oxygenation

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of premedication drugs Atropin, Fentanyl and Mivacurium and of endotracheal intubation on cerebral oxygenation and cardiac output in term and preterm newborn infants. Two different protocols of premedication are compared.

Read the detailed description

Influence of the following procedures will be examined:

  • Application of Atropin
  • Application of Fentanyl
  • Application of Mivacurium
  • possible desaturation and / or bradycardia during intubation attempts
  • restoration of arterial oxygen saturation and / or heart rate after succesful intubation

We aim to examine the change of the following parameters by the use of electrical cardiometry:

  • stroke volume
  • cardiac output

We compare two different premedication protocols and we evaluate the impact of these protocol on the time needed for intubation and on intubation difficulties .

Being tested
Atropine, Fentanyl, Mivacurium

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation during premedication and intubation

    A baseline value of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation before first application of premedication drugs is determined. Change of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation is defined as area under this threshold from first drug application until recovery.

    Measured: from 1 minute before first study drug until 10 minutes after end of procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atropine, Fentanyl, Mivacurium in people with Newborn and Preterm, run by University of Ulm at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 Apr 2016. 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 Germany. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Change of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation during premedication and intubation (time frame: from 1 minute before first study drug until 10 minutes after end of procedure). 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 Apr 2016.
