Study information

Primary study design	Interventional
Study design	Randomised controlled trial
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectives	1.To determine whether early intervention with high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) reduces the incidence of chronic lung disease (CLD), defined as a persistent oxygen requirement at a corrected gestational age of 36 weeks, in preterm infants born at less than 29 weeks gestation. 2.To ensure that any short term benefits of HFOV are not associated with an increase in subsequent respiratory or neurological morbidity
Ethics approval(s)	Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Chronic lung disease
Intervention	1. Early intervention with high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) 2. Control
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure(s)	Composite variable: 1. Death before discharge from neonatal services 2. Chronic lung disease, defined as oxygen dependency 36 weeks post menstrual age (PMA)
Key secondary outcome measure(s)	1. Age at death 2. Age at final extubation 3. Failure of treatment 4. Abnormal cerebral ultrasound 5. Postnatal use of systematic steroids 6. Hearing loss greater than 60 dB 7. Pneumothorax 8. Age finally out of oxygen 9. Pulmonary haemorrhage 10. Patent ductus arteriosus 11. Retinopathy of prematurity 12. Age at discharge from hospital Long-term outcome measures: 1. Respiratory morbidity over the first two years 2. Presence of disability at two years
