OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to compare work of breathing indices before and after extubation in intubated premature infants admitted to the Christiana Care Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The secondary objective is to compare the ability of work of breathing indices to predict extubation failure to routine spontaneous breathing tests (SBTs) in intubated premature infants admitted to the ChristianaCare NICU.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- premature infants (born at ≤32 weeks gestation) who are intubated.
- medical team is evaluating the baby for extubation readiness
Exclusion Criteria1
- Infants with skeletal, neuromuscular, or abdominal surgical disorders that affect the accuracy of RIP measurements will be excluded.
