Observational Crossover Study Comparing Oxygenation and Ventilation Using SiPAP Versus CPAP in LBW Infants

Observational Crossover Study Comparing Oxygenation and Ventilation Using Biphasic CPAP (SiPAP) Versus CPAP to Treat Respiratory Distress in Low Birth Weight Infants

• Status: Completed
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 20 (actual)
• Sponsor: Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: —
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Investigation of effects of SiPAP versus NCPAP on oxygenation and ventilation in LBW infants with respiratory distress. Our hypothesis is that the LBW infants will achieve the same level of oxygenation and improved ventilation when being treated with SiPAP as compared to NCPAP.

Conditions

• Ventilation
• Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	SiPAP	biphasic CPAP (SiPAP) to be alternated in 1 hour blocks with NCPAP
