Each infant's clinical condition, vital data, daily weight, and total enteral and parenteral fluid intake were monitored and recorded.\n\n* The gestational age was assessed based on the mother's last menstrual period and confirmed by using the modified Ballard score .\n* APGAR score and Silverman score were recorded .\n* Oxygen Saturation Index (OSI) was calculated according to the equation of OSI = MAP X FiO2 X100/SPO2 .\n* Daily inspection of infants' nostrils and nasal trauma score was graded as follows: Grade I: persistent hyperemia; Grade II: superficial ulceration; and Grade III: necrosis and tissue loss .\n* Feeding assessment: A nasogastric tube was inserted for all included neonates on noninvasive respiratory support; feeding increment was handled in accordance with NICU protocol of Ain Shams University.\n\nRespiratory management:\n\n-Criteria for starting noninvasive ventilation according to NICU protocol of Ain Shams University, including:\n\n1.

No more than one apneic episode that necessitates intermittent positive pressure breathing per day, or six or more apneic episodes that require stimulation in arow.\n\nCriteria for failure of noninvasive ventilation and shifting to invasive ventilation with surfactant administration according to NICU protocol of Ain Shams University, including:\n\n1. Severe respiratory distress characterized by retractions, moaning sounds, or nasal flaring, defined as a Silverman score \\>6 .\n2. Severe respiratory acidosis (PaCO2 ≥ 65 mmHg with pH ≤ 7.20),\n3.

More than one apneic episode that necessitates intermittent positive pressure breathing per day, or six or more apneic episodes that require stimulation in arow\n5. An immediate requirement for intubation as decided by the treating physician.\n\nCriteria for weaning off non-invasive ventilation (success of non-invasive ventilation) in this study were based on stability criteria.\n\n1. For CPAP Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP): 5-6 cm H2O / FiO2 \\<40% to maintain target saturation / Respiratory rate (RR) \\<60 breaths per minute / no significant chest retraction / not currently treated for Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and tolerating time off CPAP up to 15 minutes and less than 3 episodes of self-reverting apnea per day .\n2. For Vapotherm Weaning oxygen first, then flow reduced by 1 liter/minute each time until 2-4 L/minutes .\n3. For NHFOV FiO2 weaned first by 3-5% while maintaining target saturation until it reaches 30%, then mean airway pressure tapered every 6 h by 1 cm until 6 cm H2O .\n\n * All neonates in this study received caffeine citrate for apnea of prematurity and as a prophylactic treatment for chronic lung disease. Manufactured by Chiesi Pharmaceuticals, Parma, Italy. The initial loading dose was 20 mg/kg, and the maintenance dose was 5-10 mg/kg per day.\n\nLaboratory analysis Laboratory investigations performed included baseline complete blood count with differential leukocyte using Coulter Counter GEN-S (Coulter Corporation, IN), and a high-sensitivity C-reactive protein measurement using a quantitative assay by Latex agglutination slide test, spin react, and Spain (Omega Diagnostics LTD, UK); the detection limit for CRP was 6 mg/L . Blood gases were analyzed using ABL 5 blood gas analyzer (Diamond Diagnostics, USA) at baseline, following initiation of noninvasive support and were repeated as clinically indicated.\n\nRadiological analysis:\n\nA- chest x-ray was done initially for the diagnosis of RDS and repeated as clinically indicated.\n\nB-Abdominal X-ray was done when feeding intolerance and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) were suspected.\n\n• Hemodynamic assessment: Was done twice, one while still on non-invasive ventilation just one hour before weaning and one hour after being weaned off the allocated device.Pre- and post-weaning studies were done by the same operator to minimize inter-observer variability.\n\nDuring examination, neonates were in a resting state and lying in a supine position with temperature maintained, and the examinations were done within 15 minutes. Environmental light intensity was low and constant. Phototherapy was suspended during measurements. To avoid crying episodes and stress conditions, gentle handling consisting of delicate touching and calm voice tones were applied, along with pacifiers and stimulation of non-nutritional sucking in order to pacify the baby in each mode of noninvasive ventilation."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '34 Weeks', 'minimumAge': '25 Weeks', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:-\n\n-Preterm neonates with gestational age ≤ 35 weeks with RDS that need noninvasive ventilatory support primarily.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with major upper or lower airway anomalies.\n* Patients with significant congenital anomalies including cardiac, abdominal or respiratory.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06737003', 'acronym': 'RDS', 'briefTitle': 'Haemodynamic Changes With Different Noninvasive Respiratory Modes for Primary Respiratory Support in Preterm Neonates', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Ain Shams University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Haemodynamic Changes With Different Noninvasive Respiratory Modes for Primary Respiratory Support in Preterm Neonates', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Hemodynamic ,noninvasive'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'NHFOV group', 'description': 'Nasal high frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) will be delivered by; SLE 6000 device, Wipro GE Healthcare Private Limited, Bengaluru, Karnataka.
