About this trial
The investigators are wanting to learn more about early development of the lungs and to help them better understand prematurity and the development of a breathing disorder call BPD (Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia)
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
any term age NICU patient
Disqualifiers
- ECMO,
Evidence of congenital diseases that may affect lung development, such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia,
Suspected muscular dystrophy or neurologic disorder that may affect lung development.
Significant genetic or chromosomal abnormalities that may affect lung development
Trial population
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)
Trial design
Cohort
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
NICU MRI
Diagnostic testMRI device that is not FDA approved.
Polysomnography
Diagnostic testPolysomnography to better determine obstruction index in the airway.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Anatomic phenotypes using MRI
Investigate parenchymal and vascular structures, regional cardiopulmonary function, and dynamic airway collapse in BPD infants during quiet unsedated breathing.
Secondary outcomes
Polysomnography
Determine the correlation between upper airway MRI and the obstruction index in the polysomnography.
Other outcomes
Change in the anatomic phenotype using MRI
Compare the parenchymal reader scoring, cardiac analysis, and airway scoring over the span of the BPD infant's time in the NICU.
