E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary endpoint of the study is the time (measured in hours) of oxygen from its beginning to the suspension related to clinical improvement, defined as persistent for at least 3 hours in the air environment SaO2> 92% associated with respiratory and heart rate within the 90th percentile by age. Therefore, since the start of oxygen every two hours in the first six hours and then every 6 hours until the suspension of oxygen, the vital signs of the children enrolled will be assessed, trying to lower the administration of gas (l / minute or FI02) so to obtain a saturation> 92% with the lowest possible concentration of oxygen, up to a complete suspension. |
Esito primario dello studio è il tempo (misurato in ore) di ossigenoterapia dal suo inizio alla sospensione legata al miglioramento clinico definito come persistenza per almeno 3 ore in aria ambiente della SaO2 >92% associati ad una frequenza respiratoria e cardiaca entro il 90°centile per età. Pertanto dall’avvio dell’ossigenoterapia ogni 2 ore nelle prime sei ore e quindi ogni 6 ore fino alla sospensione dell’ossigenoterapia si valuteranno i parametri vitali dei bambini arruolati, provando ad abbassare la somministrazione del gas (l/minuto o Fi02) di modo da ottenere una saturazione >92% con la minor concentrazione possibile di ossigeno, fino ad una completa sospensione. |
