POST-IT Trial Summary

This trial is testing what oxygen saturation levels are best for newborns with pulmonary hypertension. Newborns will be randomly assigned to one of two oxygen saturation goals, and their progress will be monitored.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for newborns up to 28 days old with pulmonary hypertension or related conditions, needing respiratory support and oxygen. They must weigh over 2000g and be born after at least 32 weeks of gestation. Babies with certain heart defects or lethal conditions like trisomy 18 or trisomy 13 cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two different goals for blood oxygen levels (95%-99% SpO2) in newborns with pulmonary issues. Participants will be randomly assigned a target range, have their medical records reviewed, and undergo targeted echocardiograms to assess the effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, monitoring oxygen saturation can affect breathing treatments and may lead to adjustments in respiratory support which could impact the baby's comfort and stability.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Correlation of the Oxygenation and Echocardiography components of the HRF/PH scores
Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension (HRF/PH) score
Secondary outcome measures
Intracluster correlation coefficients of the HRF/PH score
Preliminary estimates of intervention effects on outcomes (length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and ECMO)
