Delivery Room Continuous Positive Airway Pressure/Positive End Expiratory Pressure (CPAP/PEEP) in Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) Infants
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating CPAP/PEEP and Standard management practices for Infant, Newborn and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 104 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
This pilot study was designed to determine the feasibility of randomizing extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants \<28 weeks' gestation who required resuscitation to one of two resuscitation methods, either: (a) 100% oxygen by facemask and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or positive pressure ventilation (PPV) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), if the infant required PPV (the intervention group); or (b) 100% oxygen and no CPAP and no PEEP if the infant required PPV (the control group).

Interventions
Infants received 100% oxygen by facemask and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or positive pressure ventilation (PPV) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), if the infant required PPV.
Control infants were treated with 100% oxygen and no CPAP. When a control infant required PPV, no PEEP was used.
