Details and patient eligibility

About

Our study will be a prospective observational study of all patients in the Norton Children's Hospital NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) who undergo a transcatheter PDA occlusion or medical closure of PDA to compare the two populations regarding changes in organ perfusion determined by using NIRS monitoring to follow the regional saturation of oxygen (rSO2) of the cerebral and renal regions. We suspect that medical treatment will have no significant change in rSO2 as described in previous literature. We also suspect that transcatheter occlusion will have minimal effects on rSO2 and be comparable to medical therapy.

Full description

Informed Consent will be obtained prior to initiation of the study protocol. NIRS Monitoring (Cerebral and Renal) will be placed with skin probes on the scalp and abdomen up to 24 hours prior to initiation of treatment either through medical therapy (Tylenol or indomethacin) or transcatheter occlusion. These values will be used to create an average baseline for the patient. NIRS will be left on during treatment/procedure and for 5 days after treatment to monitor any changes during or after treatment of the PDA. Changes will be compared to baseline readings.

NIRS monitoring will be done with INOVS 7100 Regional Oximeter from Medtronic (https://www.medtronic.com/covidien/en-us/products/cerebral-somatic-oximetry/invos-7100 system.html). Data collection will be done through chart review and pulling logged data from the NIRS monitoring unit. Data to be collected will include type of treatment, gestational age, patient birth weight, patient weight at time of treatment, and rSO2 (Cerebral and Regional) rSO2 variation will be addressed by calculating Coefficients of Variance at 5min epochs which has been shown to decrease the effects of normal variation.

Standardized time points will be compared between the two groups as follows:

• Data to be collected will include type of treatment, gestational age, patient birth weight, patient weight at time of treatment, and rSO2 (Cerebral and Regional)

• rSO2 variation will b e addressed by calculating Coefficients of Variance at 5min epochs which has been shown to decrease the effects of normal variation (10).

• Standardized time points will be compared between the two groups as follows:

  1. Baseline Levels: 24 hours prior to treatment
  2. During the Procedure: during initiation of procedure, 5min after device placed,10 min post device placement, 30min post device placement and 1 hour post placement
  3. Levels at 12 hours post treatment, until 48 hours post and then daily until monitoring is discontinued.
  4. Arterial O2 Saturations, FiO2 %, mode of ventilation will be recorded at the above time points as well and fractionated

• Statistician will analyze data collected
