About this study

Official title: Study of Possible Effects of Intravenous Fluid Supplementation on Serum Bilirubin Levels and Cardiorespiratory Parameters in Preterm Infants During Phototherapy

The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of a systematic extra intravenous fluid supplementation during phototherapy in comparison to a fluid supplementation due to short term demand in preterm infants.

Read the detailed description

60 preterm infants (GA ≤ 32 week) were assigned randomly to either receive a fluid supplementation due to short term demand (control group, n=30;) or a 20% extra fluid supplementation (study group, n=30) during intermediate phototherapy.

Collected data:

  • cardiorespiratory parameters(heart rate, blood pressure, SaO2 and capillary refill time, breathing rate, temperature) and a pain score was completed at the first day of phototherapy
  • The maximum total serum bilirubin levels (TSB) within one week after onset of phototherapy
Being tested
extra fluid/iv fluid supplementation during phototherapy, Non extra fluid
Keywords
preterm infants < 32 weeks of gestation
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • extra fluid/iv fluid supplementation during phototherapyOther

    The study group received an extra intravenous fluid intake of 20% of the total fluid demand per 24 hours of NaCl 0,9% during each two hour period of phototherapy (12h total per day). The extra fluid intake was interrupted during the 12 hours break of phototherapy.

  • Non extra fluidOther

    Control placebo The control group received the previous fluid regime, as intravenous fluid was given constantly, without a specific guideline according to extra fluid intake.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing extra fluid/iv fluid supplementation during phototherapy and Non extra fluid in people with Hyperbilirubinemia, run by University of Jena 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 1 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 12 Mar 2012. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

The maximum total serum bilirubin levels (time frame: within one week after onset of phototherapy). 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 12 Mar 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
