Comparing two suction methods for intubated infants

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the physiological effects of two suctioning techniques, the new EXSALTA suction device and the standard conventional wall suction, on preterm and term infants in the NICU who are receiving mechanical ventilation. Using a randomized crossover design, the study will measure changes in heart rate, oxygen saturation, cerebral oxygenation, and cerebral fractional oxygen extraction during suctioning procedures. The goal is to determine if the EXSALTA device results in less physiological disturbance compared to the conventional method. This research aims to improve suctioning practices for neonates with respiratory failure.
