About this study

Official title: Prospective Efficacy and Tolerance Data Collection in 34 to 36 Weeks Preterm Neonates Treated by High Flow Nasal Cannula for Respiratory Distress Syndrom

The main objective of the study is to gather preliminary data on the effectiveness of High Flow Nasal canula (HFNC), provided since the delivery room, for ventilatory support in newborns of 34-36 weeks with moderate respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).

The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of HFNC in this indication.

Read the detailed description

Treatment with HFNC will start maximum 30 minutes after birth at an initial flow rate of 2L/Kg/min.

According to retraction signs, flow may be increased by gradual increments of 1L/min to reach a maximum flow rate of 5L/kg/minute.

Patients not improving after 2 hours of support with HFBNC will be hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and HFNC maintained as long as necessary, with regular attempts of weaning.

At any moment during the study, aggravation will lead to stop HFNC trial, and the infant management decided by the physician involved in the patient's care.

Aggravation is definined by one of the following conditions: Silverman-Anderson score > 6, and / or FiO2 > 0.5 and / or severe apneas and / or hemodynamic instability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total duration of noninvasive ventilation

    Measured: from the first minute of life to the end of the hospitalization in the Department of Neonatal Medicine of Montpellier University Hospital Center, i .e. usually up to a minimal corrected gestationnal age of 36 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rate of hospitalization in NICU for RDS

    Measured: from the first minute of life to the end of the hospitalization in the Department of Neonatal Medicine of Montpellier University Hospital Center, i .e. usually up to a minimal corrected gestationnal age of 36 weeks.

  2. Rate of RDS aggravation

    Measured: from the first minute of life to the end of the hospitalization in the Department of Neonatal Medicine of Montpellier University Hospital Center, i .e. usually up to a minimal corrected gestationnal age of 36 weeks.

  3. Rate of intubation

    Measured: from the first minute of life to the end of the hospitalization in the Department of Neonatal Medicine of Montpellier University Hospital Center, i .e. usually up to a minimal corrected gestationnal age of 36 weeks.

  4. Rate of good tolerance of LNHD technique

    Measured: from the first minute of life to the end of the hospitalization in the Department of Neonatal Medicine of Montpellier University Hospital Center, i .e. usually up to a minimal corrected gestationnal age of 36 weeks.

  5. Incidence of side effects, including pain and discomfort, skin lesions, abdominal distension, air leak syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, hypothermia, hypoglycemia

    Measured: from the first minute of life to the end of the hospitalization in the Department of Neonatal Medicine of Montpellier University Hospital Center, i .e. usually up to a minimal corrected gestationnal age of 36 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Flow Nasal Cannula in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrom and High Flow Nasal Cannula, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total duration of noninvasive ventilation (time frame: from the first minute of life to the end of the hospitalization in the Department of Neonatal Medicine of Montpellier University Hospital Center, i .e. usually up to a minimal corrected gestationnal age of 36 weeks.). 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.
