Clinical trials

The objective of the SafeBoosC-IIIv trial is to assess benefits and harms of cerebral oximetry in newborns receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. The hypothesis is that: i. Cerebral oximetry added to usual care versus usual care alone in newborns receiving invasive mechanical ventilation will increase the number of hospital-free days within 90 days of randomisation. ii. The intervention will decrease a composite outcome of death or moderate to severe neurodevelopmental disability and/or increase the mean PARCA-R non-verbal cognitive score at two years of corrected age.
