About this trial

The purpose of this study is to use forced oscillometry technique (FOT) to measure pulmonary mechanics and function in in term infants and premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Premature infants with BPD who are in room air based on the (per NICHD definition)

Premature infants with BPD who are receiving low flow O2 support and able to maintain normal spO2 in Room air for brief period ( up to 3 minutes) Term Cohort without pulmonary disease

Infants >36 weeks gestational age without pulmonary disease

Infants < 4 weeks of age

Disqualifiers

Infants with BPD requiring invasive or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation

Infants with BPD who have associated genetic diagnosis or major congenital anomalies.

Trial population

Premature infants with bronchopulmonary Dysplasia who are in room air or Premature infants with BPD who are receiving low flow O2 support and able to maintain normal spO2 in Room air for brief period (up to 3 minutes) Term infants without pulmonary disease. Former preterm infants (\<32 weeks) with BPD seen prior to 2 years of age in the outpatient setting.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Non-invasive forced airway oscillometry

    Device

    This non-invasive device will measure pulmonary mechanics in spontaneously breathing premature infants and term infants without pulmonary disease. Infant will be in supine position and breathing regularly. A cushioned mask will be placed on the infant's face, covering the nose and mouth. Measurements typically take less than 20 seconds and no more than 3 repetitions will be done at each time point.

2

Post-bronchodilator forced oscillation technique measurements (in subjects already receiving this therapy)

FOT measurements in premature infants with BPD following bronchodilator therapy.

Time frame
FOT measurement 30 to 60minutes following bronchodilator therapy
