Scientific titleA randomised-controlled trial comparing bubble and flow driver continuous positive airway pressure in preterm infants in a resource poor setting
Study objectivesThere are two principal devices currently available for the administration of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). These are the flow driver and bubble systems. The flow driver is now in established use in the developed world; there is currently renewed interest in the bubble CPAP system. The systems differ substantially in cost with bubble CPAP considerably cheaper. However their efficacy has not been formally compared. In order to be adopted as a standard of care it would be necessary to demonstrate that bubble CPAP is as or more efficacious than flow driver CPAP.
Ethics approval(s)Institutional Review Board (IRB) committee for clinical studies, American University of Armenia, 09/03/2007
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNeonatal Diseases: respiratory
InterventionTrial procedures are exactly as would be performed in the course of standard care; the only difference is the selection of type of CPAP by randomisation.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureTotal days receiving CPAP until the time of discharge from the unit.
Secondary outcome measures1. Infants requiring ventilation
2. Deaths
3. Pneumothorax rate
4. Facial/nasal excoriation

Outcomes will be measured at the time of discharge from the unit.
