Study Overview

Brief Summary

Title of Study: A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Trial Comparing Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) vs. Early Extubation to Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) after Surfactant Treatment in Preterm Infants with Respiratory Distress Treatment Period (Planned): 7 days Objectives: To compare the impact of early extubation [within 120 minutes of birth to Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV group) vs. Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV group) on the incidence of mechanical ventilation via endotracheal tube at 7 days of age in 26 to 29 + 6 weeks gestation premature infants with respiratory distress treated with intratracheal Curosurf (poractant alpha) within 60 minutes of birth.

Secondary objectives include evaluation of overall clinical outcomes at 7 days, 28 days, and 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) and/or at discharge, complications, safety, and adverse events.

Number of Subjects: 110

Detailed Description

Respiratory management: SIMV group:

Infants randomized to SIMV will be maintained on SIMV per standard unit protocol. Infant can be progressively weaned and extubated to NCPAP if infant meets the minimum criteria for extubation. Caffeine will be administered around the time of extubation.

NIPPV group:

Extubated to NIPPV within 120 minutes of birth if the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is less than 0.60 after the first dose of surfactant. Caffeine will be administered around the time of extubation. Infant can be reintubated if clinical parameters necessitate mechanical ventilation. NIPPV may be discontinued when patients are weaned to a positive end expiratory pressure of 5 cmsH20 with back up rate <10 bpm and FiO2 <0.30 for 24 hours to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP).

Surfactant administration:
