Brain Oxygenation and Function of Preterm Newborns During Administration of Two Different Surfactant Preparations

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Respiratory Failure
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn
Interventions
Drug: Poractant alfa instillation
Registration Number
NCT01941524
Lead Sponsor
Poznan University of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether there are differences in bioelectrical function (measured by amplitude integrated electroencephalography) and brain oxygenation (measured by near infrared spectroscopy) while and after instillation of two different surfactant preparations.

Detailed Description

Patients randomized to one of the treatment groups: 1) SRT with porcine preparation - poractant alfa; 2) SRT with bovine preparation - beractant. Continuous monitoring and simultaneous recordeding of 1) saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) measured with pulse oximetry, cerebral tissue oxygenation measured with near-infrared spectroscopy, amplitude-integrated electroencephalography.
