Clinical Trial to Assess the Clinical Impact, Efficacy and Safety of Customized Nasal Masks Designed by 3D Printing During Non-invasive Ventilation in Premature Infants
Clinical trial with crossed groups, open, masked for the evaluation of the main outcome. Inclusion of all premature infants with a birth weight less than 1500 g requiring Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV).
Premature will be randomised to start alternatively with MT or 3DM. Each patient included will be their own control at the same time, receiving each of the different mask models every 4 hours alternately. The study period will be a maximum of 7 days.
To compare the time in which preterm maintain SatO2 below 85% with the 3DM versus the traditional mask (TM) in preterm < 1500 g. Other secondary objectives regarding ventilation enhancement will be assessed, such as the number of bradycardias, cardiorespiratory arrest and need for resuscitation in the context of apnea. Also, skin lesions of the nose resulting from the pressure applied by any of the masks (TM or 3DM) and the need for analgesia and/or sedation for pain control or discomfort will be assessed. Parental perception and satisfaction will be assessed.
Improvement and optimization of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in preterm and low birth weight infants is essential in order to reduce morbidity. By the use of 3D printing design (3DM), these infants would be provided with customized nasal masks, according to their particular anatomical features while on NIV. This would lead to a greater stabilization of the respiratory system, decreased apnea spells, oxygen desaturation and bradycardia, less need for intubation and less skin nose injury, all of which might improve neurodevelopmental outcomes.
