Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prone Versus Supine Positioning and the Impact on Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Very Low Birth Weight Infants. (NCT NCT04890158)

NCT ID: NCT04890158

Last Updated: 2024-09-05

Results Overview

The number of infants with either Moderate or Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) will be determined per study arm. Moderate and Severe BPD will be defined as follows: Moderate (Grade 2) BPD: If an infant requires nCPAP, NIPPV, HFNC, or NC \> 2 liters per minute flow and receiving \> 21% FiO2. Severe (Grade 3) BPD: If an infant requires invasive positive pressure ventilation via an endotracheal or tracheostomy irrespective of the amount of FiO2.

Measure
Prone Positioning for a Total of 6 Hours Daily by Study Protocol
Patients will be positioned prone for 3 hours then placed supine for 3 hours then prone again for 3 additional hours. The change in position from prone to supine and back is to more reliably document possible changes in ventilation, oxygenation, other vital signs and respiratory support required. Prone positioning for a total of 6 hours daily: Prone positioning for 6 hours daily
Usual Positioning
Patients in the newborn intensive care unit are physically handled usually every 3-4 hours. Those study participants who are randomly assigned to "usual position" may rest in a variety of positions in any order based on nursing or perceived patient preference. Positions may include supine, right lateral, left lateral, and prone as well.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: as determined by respiratory support requirements at 36 weeks postconceptional age

Population: The study was terminated early and Primary Outcome Measure data was not collected and/or analyzed for this study.

The number of infants with either Moderate or Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) will be determined per study arm. Moderate and Severe BPD will be defined as follows: Moderate (Grade 2) BPD: If an infant requires nCPAP, NIPPV, HFNC, or NC \> 2 liters per minute flow and receiving \> 21% FiO2.
