Pulmonary Function During Prone and Supine Positioning in NICU Infants Requiring Assisted Ventilation

NCT00749762 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2015-05-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study seeks to determine in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients specific improvements in pulmonary function which may occur when an infant is ventilated in the prone as compared to the supine position. Modest improvement in oxygen has been reported to occur with prone positioning, but the exact etiology for this change is not clear. A special incubator designed as an integrated care system allows routine care and the measurement of both patient and ventilator breaths during mechanical ventilation. This study will utilize this device to evaluate in NICU ventilated patients whether specific changes in pulmonary function accompany position changes, and whether these are correlated to a change in pulmonary gas exchange.
