CO2-Vent Trial Summary

This trial aims to see if using a colorimetric carbon dioxide detector called Pedi-Cap during face mask ventilation for newborn infants can reduce the time needed for ventilation. The study will involve a neon

Who is the study for?

This trial is for newborn infants born at or after 30 weeks' gestation who need non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (PPV) in the delivery room. The neonatal resuscitation team must be present before delivery to participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if using a Pedi-Cap, which detects carbon dioxide, can reduce the time newborns need face mask PPV in the delivery room. Infants are randomly assigned monthly to either use or not use the Pedi-Cap during PPV.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

There are no direct side effects from using a Pedi-Cap as it's a non-invasive monitoring device. However, its usage may influence decisions on how long to continue PPV.

Active Control

Group I: Pedi-CapExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

A Pedi-Cap will be connected to the T-piece resuscitator in between the T-piece and face mask. With effective gas exchange, carbon dioxide (CO2) is detected by the Pedi-cap and will demonstrate gold color change with each exhalation. If there is no CO2 gas exchanged, the Pedi-Cap color will remain purple. The color change will be used as one of the tools for the resuscitation team to determine if the infant has effective non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during delivery room resuscitation. Other ways, in addition to the Pedi-Cap, to determine effective PPV include a rise in heart rate, improved infant color, chest rise, and improvement in oxygen saturation.

Group II: No Pedi-CapActive Control1 Intervention

There will be no Pedi-Cap attached to the t-piece resuscitator. Effective non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during delivery room resuscitation will be assessed by a rise in heart rate, improved infant color, chest rise, and improvement in oxygen saturation.
