Non-Invasive Detection of Tissue Oxygen Deprivation in Premature Infants With Patent Ductus Arteriosus.

Completed
Conditions
Hemodynamic Instability
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Premature Infant
Interventions
Device: Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (RRS)
Registration Number
NCT03277768
Lead Sponsor
University of Florida
Brief Summary

The proposed research evaluates tissue oxygenation (StO2) as measured by resonance raman spectroscopy (RRS) in premature infants with and without patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). This is a prospective observational study of infants born at \< 30 weeks of gestation. The primary aim of this study is to determine if the difference in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS is more significant in premature infants with PDA in comparison to infants without PDA. The secondary aim of this study is to determine if the difference in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS is more significant in infant who develop serious adverse events.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences and pre- and post-ductal RRS measurements of tissue oxygenation.Up to a maximum of 14 data collection times

Pre- and post-ductal tissues oxygenation as measured by RRS may be more significant in infants with PDA.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Are differences in pre- and post-ductal StO2 as detected by RRS more significant in infants with serious adverse events.Up to a maximum of 14 data collection times

RRS measurements and the difference between pre- and post-ductal tissue oxygenation will be evaluated in infants with serious adverse events to determine if the measurements could have predicted the serious adverse event.
