Official title
Pilot Study of Dornase Alfa (Pulmozyme) Therapy for Acquired Ventilator Associated Infection in Preterm and Late Preterm Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
To evaluate the effect of Dornase alfa on preterm and late preterm neonates with ventilator associated pulmonary infections. Dornase alfa has been effective in the treatment of pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis by aiding mucus clearance. The bacteria causing pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis patients is similar to those infecting preterm infants. The investigators expect that dornase alfa therapy will improve recovery from ventilator associated pulmonary infections in preterm infants.
