Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Prematurely born infants in the hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) will be included in the study. This clinical trial is a randomized crossover study to show that our automated oxygen control device performance is no worse than a NICU nurse in keeping a premature neonate's SPO2 within the prescribed range. Since subjects receive the device (automatic oxygen control) and the standard of care (manual control by a nurse), every subject serves as their own perfectly matched control. Performance measures include the average time it takes for the SpO2 to return to the desired range (primary endpoint) and the total amount of time that the SpO2 is within the desired range (secondary endpoint). The device will be applied to premature infants on respiratory support humidified high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) with oxygen controlled using a blend valve. Two groups include one that begins the study period with the device and one that begins the study period without the device. The two groups are switched between manual and automatic every 6 hours into the trial period and complete a total of 6 days. The target number of subjects is 60. We will analyze the study as a superiority trial if there is strong evidence of superiority.
