Extubation Readiness Study in Very Low Birthweight Infants

Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Respiratory Distress Syndrome

• Registration Number: NCT01471431
• Lead Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether use of the spontaneous breathing trial allows for earlier successful extubation of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants who are intubated for \>48 hours and have not yet been successfully extubated (extubated \>7 days).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
time to successful extubation	34 weeks postmenstrual age	The time from intubation (if \>48 hours) to successful extubation (if \> 7 days) as evaluated at 34 weeks postmenstrual age (gestational age + chronologic age)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
bronchopulmonary dysplasia	36 weeks postmenstrual age	The diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia will be made at 36 weeks postmenstrual age, using the traditional definition and the NIH Consensus definition.
extubation failure rate	34 weeks postmenstrual age	The proportion of infants who fail extubation will be compared between the 2 groups.
