About this trial

To evaluate how different forms of respiratory support affect parent interaction, how parents feel about different methods of support, and how their child's current respiratory support level is perceived in the setting of long-term outcomes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Infants born less than 31 weeks who have been stable for 72 hours on continuous positive pressure level (CPAP) of support via a standard interface.

Parents (females or males) must be greater than 18 years of age at the time of the interview after their infant has experienced both respiratory modalities.

Disqualifiers

Infants will be excluded if they have suspected or confirmed abnormalities/trauma to the skull or airway involving any abnormal connection that may allow pressure to be transmitted to unintended anatomical structures or tissues.

Trial design

Design model

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Nasal CPAP interface: OptiPAP Junior

    Device

    FDA 510(k)-cleared non-invasive nasal interface used to deliver continuous positive airway pressure. Infants receive CPAP via the OptiPAP Junior interface for 5 consecutive days, either as the first or second interface depending on randomized sequence. CPAP level and duration are managed by the clinical team per standard NICU practice; the device is used in accordance with its cleared labeling

  • Nasal CPAP interface: FlexiTrunk

    Device

    FDA-cleared Class I, 510(k)-exempt nasal interface that is the standard CPAP interface in many neonatal care units. Infants receive CPAP via the FlexiTrunk interface for 5 consecutive days, either as the first or second interface depending on randomized sequence. CPAP level and duration are managed by the clinical team per standard NICU practice.
