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 volunteersQualifiers
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
Crossover
Treatments tested in this trial
Nasal CPAP interface: OptiPAP Junior
DeviceFDA 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
DeviceFDA-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.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Parent perception of different respiratory devices
To assess parent perception of different respiratory devices, namely the OptiPAP Junior, in comparison to other modalities through semi-structured parent interviews.
Secondary outcomes
Parent perception and recommendations on inpatient pulmonary support and outcome measurements
To detail family member perception of lung disease and respiratory support, parent recommendations of how to improve NICU bonding in setting of respiratory needs, and parent recommendations on inpatient pulmonary outcome measurements through semi-structured parent interviews.
