Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To test the hypothesis that endotracheal administration of poractant alfa preceded by a recruitment manoeuvre in High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) modality in preterm infants still requiring mechanical ventilation at 7-10 days of life could reduce the length of invasive mechanical ventilation.;Secondary Objective: Key secondary objective: To test the hypothesis that endotracheal administration of poractant alfa preceded by a recruitment manoeuvre in High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) modality in preterm infants still requiring mechanical ventilation at 7-10 days of life could reduce the rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.;Primary end point(s): First successful extubation (day of life) defined as extubation not followed by a reintubation for at least 7 days.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Extubation will be considered successful when adequate spontaneous respiration will be maintained for at least 7 days. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Key secondary end-point: Rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia expressed as the oxygen-dependance at 36 weeks of post-menstrual age.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From birth to discharge. | — |
