About this trial

This is a prospective observational study investigating the impact of NIV-NAVA on short-term clinical outcomes and long-term neurodevelopment in very preterm infants.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Preterm infants born between 27 weeks 0 days to 31 weeks 6 days of gestation

Preterm infants who require respiratory support within the first 48 hours of life

Disqualifiers

Preterm infants who die within the first 48 hours of life

Preterm infants who do not require any respiratory support within the first 48 hours of life.

Preterm infants with congenital anomalies affecting the lungs, heart, or other organs that could influence breathing

Infants whose parents do not consent to participate in the study

Trial population

Patients admitted to the NICU in Korea University Anam Hospital will be recruited over a 2-year period.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Non-invasive NAVA

    Procedure/Surgery

    Initiate respiratory assist with NIV-NAVA within 48 hours. The setting of respiratory support will be adjusted based on clinical conditions of each subject. NIV-NAVA could be switched to nasal continuous airway pressure or high flow nasal cannula, and it also could be stopped after initial stabilization. In cases of respiratory distress syndrome, lung surfactant will be administered via the less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) method and avoid endotracheal intubation whenever possible. For who intubated in the delivery room, extubation with NIV-NAVA should be considered as soon as possible. Endotracheal intubation with invasive ventilation could be applied when clinical deteriorations happens.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) failure

NIV-NAVA failure was defined as a participant requiring endotracheal intubation (except brief intubation for only surfactant administration)

Time frame
through the study completion, during the hospital stay in neonatal intensive care unit up to 3 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)

diagnosed according to the Jensen Criteria

Time frame
at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age
2

Duration of non-invasive ventilation

each of NIV-NAVA, nasal continuous positive airway pressure, high flow nasal cannula

Time frame
through the study completion, during the hospital stay in neonatal intensive care unit up to 3 months
3

Incidence of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)

diagnosed by brain ultrasound or MRI

Time frame
through the study completion, during the hospital stay in neonatal intensive care unit up to 3 months
4

Duration of invasive ventilation

each of high-frequent oscillatory ventilation, conventional mechanical ventilation, NAVA etc

Time frame
through the study completion, during the hospital stay in neonatal intensive care unit up to 3 months
