Positioning and Gastric Aspiration in Ventilated Premature Infants

Cairo University·interventional·Posted Dec 20, 2013·Updated Dec 20, 2013

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Right side position for Respiratory Aspiration of Gastric Contents. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Gastro-esophageal reflux and aspiration is a common problem in premature infants receiving mechanical ventilation. Pepsin measured in tracheal aspirate (TA) emerged as a specific marker for aspiration. The objective of this study is to examine if TA pepsin will change when ventilated premature infants are positioned in two different positions; on their back vs. on their right side.
