About this trial

The investigators are wanting to learn more about early development of the lungs and to help them better understand prematurity and the development of a breathing disorder call BPD (Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia)

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

any term age NICU patient

Disqualifiers

- ECMO,

Evidence of congenital diseases that may affect lung development, such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia,

Suspected muscular dystrophy or neurologic disorder that may affect lung development.

Significant genetic or chromosomal abnormalities that may affect lung development

Trial population

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)

Trial design

Design model

Cohort

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • NICU MRI

    Diagnostic test

    MRI device that is not FDA approved.

  • Polysomnography

    Diagnostic test

    Polysomnography to better determine obstruction index in the airway.

Treatment groups

160 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: BPD2 interventions
Group B: Controls2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Anatomic phenotypes using MRI

Investigate parenchymal and vascular structures, regional cardiopulmonary function, and dynamic airway collapse in BPD infants during quiet unsedated breathing.

Time frame
baseline

Secondary outcomes

1

Polysomnography

Determine the correlation between upper airway MRI and the obstruction index in the polysomnography.

Time frame
within a week of baseline MRI

Other outcomes

1

Change in the anatomic phenotype using MRI

Compare the parenchymal reader scoring, cardiac analysis, and airway scoring over the span of the BPD infant's time in the NICU.

Time frame
1 month post baseline and discharge from NICU
