Supraglottic airway to support breathing in premature infants born at 29–33 weeks

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 single-arm feasibility trial will enroll infants born at 29 0/7 to 33 6/7 weeks' gestation who require positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) at delivery. Prenatal consent will be obtained and eligibility will be reconfirmed at the time of delivery. If resuscitation is required, a supraglottic airway (SA) will be used as the primary interface for PPV and clinical and procedural data will be collected during delivery-room resuscitation. The goal is to determine whether using an SA is practical and can provide effective ventilation in this preterm population.
