简要总结
This pilot project will evaluate independently two non-pharmacological interventions, 1) Neurosensory, Environmental Adaptive Technology (NEATCAP) and 2) Stochastic Vibrotactile Stimulation (SVS), as adjuvant non-pharmacological interventions for improving sleep and cardio-respiratory function in hospitalized infants. Within-subject design allows subjects to serve as their own control and receive periods of routine care with and without intervention. One intervention will be evaluated per study session. Infants may participate in up to four sessions.
详细描述
Infants and children treated in the hospital often present with autonomic and sleep disturbances that may be related to prematurity, opioid and other drug exposures in utero, illness, surgery, medical procedures, and/or treatment medications. In addition, patients treated in neonatal and pediatric units often require prolonged hospitalization with medical monitoring and life-sustaining devices equipped with patient safety alarms. Such bedside equipment may result in patients being exposed to loud and/or persistent noises that may further disrupt sleep and autonomic function and compromise recovery and outcomes.
This pilot study will study three separate pediatric populations being treated in neonatal and pediatric hospital units: 1) Premature Infants; 2) Opioid-exposed newborns requiring medication for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome; and 3) Hospitalized infants treated for illness or surgery. Subjects will participate in up to 4 study sessions during their hospitalization, testing independent effects of two interventions complementary to routine care: 1) Neurosensory, Environmental Adaptive Technology (NEATCAP), and 2) stochastic vibrotactile stimulation (SVS). Within-subject design will allow for comparisons between periods, i.e., with and without the study-session intervention, separately for each device, for improving sleep and cardio-respiratory function in three independent groups of hospitalized infants.

结局指标
主要结局
Mean Respiratory Rate With and Without Intervention
时间窗: Between 8 to 12 hours (reflecting 3 interfeed periods NEATCAP OFF then ON then OFF)
Within each Group, mean respiratory rate will be compared for periods of device on and device off separately for each intervention device within each study session.
Mean Heart Rate With and Without Intervention
时间窗: Between 8 to 12 hours (reflecting 3 interfeed periods NEATCAP OFF then ON then OFF)
Within each Group, mean heart rate will be compared for periods of device on and device off separately for each intervention device within each study session.
Sleep Rate With and Without NEATCAP Intervention
时间窗: Between 8 to 12 hours (reflecting 3 interfeed periods NEATCAP OFF then ON then OFF)
Within each Group, percent sleep (and inversely percent wake) duration will be compared for periods of device on and device off separately for each intervention device within each study session.
次要结局
- Mean Movement Activity(Between 8 to 12 hours (reflecting 3 interfeed periods NEATCAP OFF then ON then OFF))
