About this study

Official title: Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure for Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Twins:A Randomized Controlled Trials

The investigators compared advantages and disadvantages of two forms of noninvasive respiratory support -bi-level positive airway pressure(BiPAP) or nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) -as a primary mode of ventilation in preterm twins infants with respiratory distress syndrome

Read the detailed description

Invasive ventilation is related to development of adverse pulmonary and nonpulmonary outcomes in ventilated infants. Various modes of noninvasive respiratory support are being increasingly used to minimize the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The aim of this trial to compare the effects of bi-level positive airway pressure(BiPAP) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in preterm twins infants as the primary mode.

Being tested
BiPAP, nCPAP
Medical subject headings
Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BiPAP and nCPAP in people with nCPAP and BiPAP, run by Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 2021. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ma Juan, MD (13883559467 ext. 86, 476679422@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

intubation rate (time frame: within 7 days). 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 16 Feb 2021.
