Increasingly High flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC, newer form of extra breathing support) therapy has found its way in clinical practice despite lack of good physiological data. There are also concerns about its potential to generate higher pressures in airways which can cause over distension of lungs.\n\nWe would like to find out the effects of HFNC on\n\n* 1\\. Airway pressures in various flow rates and in comparison to CPAP.\n* 2\\. Breathing markers including respiratory rate (speed of breathing), oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, tidal volumes (how much air breathed in with each breath) and airway wash out (wash out of waste gas from the airway).\n\nWe plan to study 15 babies each in three different weight categories supported with either CPAP or HFNC. The airway pressures, oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration in airway are measured by a small plastic catheter (similar to feeding tube but much shorter in length), carbon dioxide levels by skin sensors, how fast and how much babies breathe by a special vest applied like a layer of clothing. These will be recorded both on HFNC and CPAP. There are no blood tests or invasive procedures involved. The baby will be monitored throughout the study period of approximately two hours by experienced registrar who is trained to use the study device.\n\nThis study will improve our understanding of physiological effects of HFNC and lead to better care of preterm babies.', 'detailedDescription': "Purpose and design\n\nDesign: Prospective randomised crossover study.\n\nPurpose:\n\n* Raising airway pressure is one of the most important interventions at the disposal of clinicians treating patients with respiratory failure. In premature infants Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) are noninvasive techniques to raise mean airway pressure when intubation is not required. It is not clear how clinicians choose between these techniques and there is little data comparing the physiological effect of these treatments.\n* A composite physiological assessment of babies on HFNC and CPAP treatment is required to understand how HFNC works. It is important to answer this question to understand how best to use HFNC in babies.\n* This proposal is designed to provide information on physiological effects of both therapies in same population of babies across different weight categories. The study protocol involves use of same HFNC device that is currently being used in neonatal unit.\n\nInterventions:\n\n1\\. A small plastic catheter tip transducer (Gaeltec) will be placed in upper breathing passage (nasopharynx or oropharynx) using standard methods. From this we will measure airway pressures and respiratory gas concentrations.\n\nThe catheter will be removed soon after the study is completed. This procedure will be done once during the study.\n\n2\\. Breathing markers (Tidal breathing indices) will be measured by non invasive method using Volusense method where a vest will be applied over the chest and abdomen like a layer of clothing. The Volusense vest will be removed soon after the procedure. This process is done once during the study.\n\n3\\. Blood carbon dioxide (CO2) levels will be measured by a non invasive transcutaneous sensor applied to the skin (Tosca Radiometer). This skin sensor will be removed soon after the study is completed.\n\n1. The baby must be clinically stable for preceding 12 hours on noninvasive breathing support (not meeting exit criteria). The babies will be randomised to either group 1 (CPAP first followed by HFNC) or group 2 (HFNC first followed by CPAP) by computerised software programme.\n2. The measuring devices namely nasopharyngeal catheter, Volusense vest and transcutaneous CO2 sensor are placed as per standard methods.\n3. After ensuring babies' clinical stability the measurements are recorded at HFNC gas flow rate range from 2 litres to 8 litres per minute and in CPAP of 6 cm of water pressure level.\n4. The study lasts about 2 hours. The baby spends 10 minutes at each HFNC flow rate level and 30 minutes of equilibration period when support will be changed between HFNC and CPAP.\n5. Routine measurement of heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturations will be done as per standard neonatal practice. The above data will be recorded electronically for analysis with total study duration around 120 minutes.\n6. Respiratory support can be terminated at any point if clinically not indicated.\n\nThe researcher is an experienced neonatal registrar who will be directly observing the baby throughout the study.\n\nMeasurements would be discontinued if any pre set exit criteria is noted.\n\nStatistics: A total of 45 babies (15 babies in each weight category: \\<1000 grams, 1001500 grams and \\>1500 grams) will be studied."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '4 Months', 'minimumAge': '5 Days', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* They are less than 37 weeks' gestation at birth and more than 5 days of age\n* Are on non-invasive respiratory support and\n* The parent(s) have given written informed consent to their baby's participation\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Infants who are clinically unstable and unsuitable for non-invasive respiratory support as judged by attending neonatology consultant clinician.\n* Participation in a concurrent study that prohibits inclusion in other trials\n* Known major upper airway, lower respiratory tract, cardiac or gastrointestinal tract anomaly\n* Current complications such as pneumothorax."}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02200900', 'briefTitle': 'Study of Respiratory Physiology During High Flow Nasal Cannula Treatment in Preterm Neonates.', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust'}, 'officialTitle': 'Study of Nasopharyngeal Pressures, Tidal Breathing Indices and Inspired Gas Concentrations During High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) and CPAP Treatment in Neonates', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '7022'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Group 1 ( CPAP followed by HFNC)', 'description': 'In this group pharyngeal pressure, transcutaneous carbon dioxide concentration, tidal volumes and pharyngeal gas concentrations will be recorded on CPAP first followed by HFNC.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Pharyngeal pressure', 'Other: Transcutaneous carbon dioxide', 'Other: Pharyngeal gas concentrations', 'Other: Tidal volume']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Group 2 (HFNC followed by CPAP)', 'description': 'In this group pharyngeal pressure, transcutaneous carbon dioxide concentration, tidal volumes and pharyngeal gas concentrations will be recorded on HFNC first followed by CPAP.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Pharyngeal pressure', 'Other: Transcutaneous carbon dioxide', 'Other: Pharyngeal gas concentrations', 'Other: Tidal volume']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Pharyngeal pressure', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Babies will have pharyngeal pressures measured during the CPAP and HFNC respiratory support.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Group 1 ( CPAP followed by HFNC)', 'Group 2 (HFNC followed by CPAP)']}, {'name': 'Transcutaneous carbon dioxide', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Babies will have transcutaneous carbon dioxide measured during CPAP and HFNC respiratory support.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Group 1 ( CPAP followed by HFNC)', 'Group 2 (HFNC followed by CPAP)']}, {'name': 'Pharyngeal gas concentrations', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Measurement of pharyngeal oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration will be done during CPAP and HFNC respiratory support.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Group 1 ( CPAP followed by HFNC)', 'Group 2 (HFNC followed by CPAP)']}, {'name': 'Tidal volume', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Tidal breathing indices including tidal volume and FRC base line changes will be recorded during CPAP and HFNC respiratory support.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Group 1 ( CPAP followed by HFNC)', 'Group 2 (HFNC followed by CPAP)']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'NE1 4LP', 'city': 'Newcastle upon Tyne', 'state': 'Tyne and Wear', 'country': 'United Kingdom', 'facility': 'The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 54.97328, 'lon': -1.61396}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': "Christopher O'Brien, MRCP, FRCPCH", 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': "christopher.o'brien@nuth.nhs.uk", 'phone': '0044-191-2825089'}, {'name': 'Saikiran Gopalakaje, MD, MRCPCH', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'saikiran.gopalakaje@nuth.nhs.uk', 'phone': '0044-191-2821614'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': "Christopher O'Brien, MRCP, FRCPCH", 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation NHS Trust'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}, 'annotationSection': {'annotationModule': {'unpostedAnnotation': {'unpostedEvents': [{'date': '2018-04-20', 'type': 'RELEASE'}, {'date': '2018-11-21', 'type': 'RESET'}, {'date': '2019-10-01', 'type': 'RELEASE'}, {'date': '2019-10-24', 'type': 'RESET'}], 'unpostedResponsibleParty': 'Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust'}}}}
