Respiratory Oscillometry for the Prediction of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Recruiting
Conditions
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Respiratory Oscillometry
Registration Number
NCT05986032
Lead Sponsor
Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori
Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the correlation between respiratory system reactance, as assessed by respiratory oscillometry, and respiratory outcomes in preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. The main question it aims to answer is if the reactance z-score at 7 postnatal days adds to relevant clinical factors in the prediction of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Participants will receive respiratory oscillometry measurements at 7 ± 2 postnatal days.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Respiratory system reactance (Xrs) at the clinical positive end-expiratory pressureXrs will be measured at 7 days of life

Xrs will be expressed in z-score using reference equation for very preterm infants

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Respiratory system reactance (Xrs) at the clinical positive end-expiratory pressure and ± 2 cmH2OXrs will be measured at 7 days of life

Xrs will be expressed in cmH2O\*S/L
