- Registration Number
- NCT03946891
- Lead Sponsor
- NYU Langone Health
- Brief Summary
This is a prospective,randomized, cross over study comparing the efficacy and safety of nebulizedfurosemide with Intra Venous (IV)furosemide in preterm infants who areventilator-and oxygen dependent. Reviewing the patient census on Neo data by the Sub Investigator will identify the potential subjects. Subject will be randomized to either A arm or B arm. Subjects in the A arm will receive 1 mg/kg of inhaled furosemideQ 24 hours for 3 days. This will be followed by a washout period of a day followed by 1mg/kg of intravenous furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days. Subjects in the B arm will receive 1 mg/kg of intravenous furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days followed by a washout period, which is then followed by 1 mg/kg of inhaled furosemide Q 24 hours for 3 days.
