SafeBoosC

SafeBoosC - Safeguarding the Brain of Our Smallest Children - an Investigator-initiated Randomised, Blinded, Multinational, Phase II Feasibility Clinical Trial on Near-infrared Spectroscopy Monitoring Combined With Defined Treatment Guidelines Versus Standard Monitoring and Treatment as Usual in Premature Infants

The primary objective of the SafeBoosC trial is to examine if it is possible to stabilise the cerebral oxygenation of extremely preterm infants during the first 72 hours of life through the application of cerebral NIRS oximetry and implementation of an rStO2-specific clinical treatment guideline. We hypothesise that by using the specified treatment guideline to respond to cerebral monitoring readings outside the target range, we would reduce the burden of hypo- and hyperoxia and consequently reduce brain injury.

This is an investigator-initiated randomised, blinded, multinational, phase II feasibility clinical trial involving preterm infants from 12 European countries.
