Trial Outcomes & Findings for Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) as an Adjunct to Neonatal Resuscitation (NCT NCT01220687)
NCT ID: NCT01220687
Last Updated: 2020-08-19
Results Overview
To investigate whether iNO decreases the supplemental oxygen exposure in the preterm infants who require continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during resuscitation as per Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) protocol.

Participant Flow
Women admitted in preterm labor with gestational ages of 25 0/7 to 31 6/7 weeks gestation were approached for prenatal consent. 171 mothers were identified, 95 mothers consented
64 consented mothers or infants met subsequent exclusion criteria. Of those, only 33 were enrolled at time of delivery. Most common exclusion was aging out of gestational age limit, precipitous delivery, or no team available.

Placebo 20ppm
Nitrogen at 20 ppm at the beginning of study start with gradual taper at 10 minutes of the study and completely off by 17 minutes of the study
Nitrogen: Subjects will be randomized to receive iNO (20ppm) or nitrogen (placebo gas) with blended oxygen (starting with 0.3). Fraction of inspired oxygen will be adjusted by 0.1 increments every 15 seconds targeting pre-ductal oxygen saturation of 70-85% in the first 2 minutes of life, and then 85-93% until the end of the study period while requiring supplemental oxygen.

iNO 20 Ppm
Nitric Oxide 20 ppm at the beginning of study start with gradual taper at 10 minutes of the study and completely off by 17 minutes of the study
iNO: Immediately after birth, subjects will be randomized to receive iNO (20ppm) or nitrogen (placebo gas) with blended oxygen (starting with 0.3). Fraction of inspired oxygen will be adjusted by 0.1 increments every 15 seconds targeting pre-ductal oxygen saturation of 70-85% in the first 2 minutes of life, and then 85-93% until the end of the study period while requiring supplemental oxygen.
