Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to determine whether use of the spontaneous breathing trial allows for earlier successful extubation of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants who are intubated for \>48 hours and have not yet been successfully extubated (extubated \>7 days).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Spontaneous breathing trial

The spontaneous breathing trial will determine the extubation readiness of the subject.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

spontaneous breathing trial

Intervention Type OTHER

The SBT is performed daily on rounds if an infant is on conventional ventilation and meets all predetermined ventilator criteria (set ventilator rate ≤30, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) delivered on mandatory breaths ≤20 cm H2O, pressure support (PS) ≤8 cm H2O, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ≤6 cm H2O, inspired fractional oxygen (FiO2) ≤0.40).

During the SBT, the ventilator rate and pressure support are set to zero, and the infant is maintained on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) alone via the endotracheal tube. The trial duration is 3 minutes, unless an infant fails before the trial is complete. Failure is defined as bradycardia \<100 for \>15 seconds or oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry \<85% despite a 15% increase in FiO2. If an infant passes the SBT, they are extubated within 3 hours. If an infant fails the SBT, they remain intubated and the daily application of the SBT continues as long as the minimum ventilator criteria are met.

Usual care

Subjects will be extubated using usual care, without the use of the spontaneous breathing trial.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
