Supraglottic Airway for Resuscitation in Preemies (NCT07419438)

Supraglottic Airway Interface for Positive Pressure Ventilation During Delivery Room Resuscitation of Premature Infants: A Pilot Feasibility Trial

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this single-arm intervention trial is to learn whether using a supraglottic airway (SA) as the primary interface for positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is feasible during delivery room resuscitation of premature infants. This study will be conducted in premature infants born between 29 0/7 and 33 6/7 weeks' gestation who require PPV at birth. The main question it aims to answer is: Is it feasible to use a supraglottic airway as the primary interface to provide effective PPV during delivery room resuscitation in 29 0/7 to 33 6/7 weeks' gestation premature infants? Participants will (1)Be screened prenatally and have informed consent obtained from the birth parent prior to delivery; (2)Be rescreened for eligibility on the day of delivery before receiving the study intervention; (3)Receive PPV using a supraglottic airway as the primary ventilation interface if resuscitation is required at birth; and (4)Have clinical and procedural data collected during delivery room resuscitation and for up to 24 hours after birth.
