Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  GRADUAL WEANING of NIV Support in preterm neonate of gestation 28 to 36 week.   In gradual weaning protocol GROUP B we will wean of the NIV support over a period of 8hr by using first oxygen weaning (reduction of fio2 by 5% every 2hr ) ensuring maintaining saturation90 to 95 %.followed by pressure weaning (that is reduction of PEEP by 1cmh2o every 2hr ) till PEEP OF 5CM h2o  
Intervention  SUDDEN WEANING of NIV Support in preterm neonate of gestation 28 to 36 week .  In sudden weaning protocol ( GROUP A) we will wean of the NIV Support within 2hrs by using first oxygen weaning ( reduction of Fio2 by 5% every 30 min) ensuring saturation 90 to 95% .followed by pressure weaning (that is reduction of PEEP by 1cmh2o every 30 min ) till PEEP of 5cmh2o

Brief Summary  

SUMMARY OF PROTOCOL

Title: sudden versus gradual weaning from NIV Support in preterm neonates: - A Randomized controlled trial.

RATIONALE: The present study aims to test novel weaning strategies in preterm neonates on NIV support.

Primary Objective: To compare the success rate of the first attempt of successful weaning in the sudden versus gradual wean group in preterm neonates (28 to 36wk). 

 Secondary Objectives: To compare the following factors in the sudden versus gradual wean group: - Postmenstrual age (PMA) at the time of successful weaning and weight at the time of successful weaning. Total duration of NIV support and Length of stay (LOS) in NICU

Study Setting: Neonatal ICU (intramural) of the Department of Pediatrics of GTB Hospital, a tertiary care teaching hospital in New Delhi.

Study Period: April 2024 to Aug 2025

Study Design: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Participants: 160 Preterm neonates (28 to 36 weeks) admitted in intramural NICU requiring NIV support.

Methods: Eligible preterm neonates in the intramural NICU of GTBH will be enrolled in the study after obtaining informed consent from parents and counselling them. Clinic-demographic data will be noted in a pre-designed case record form (CRF). 

The Baby enrolled in the study undergoes randomization into the sudden versus gradual wean group and the baby is asses in each group for successful weaning. Successful weaning in each group is defined as being off oxygen for 3 days.

Primary Outcome Measures: Proportion of preterm neonates successfully weaned in the first attempt of weaning in each group.

Secondary Outcome: Mean postmenstrual age at the time of successful wean in both the group , Mean weight at the time of successful wean in both the group , Total duration of NIV support in successful weaned preterm neonates of each group, Length of stay (LOS) in NICU in successful weaned preterm neonates of each  group.

 Sample size: Considering the success rate of weaning in sudden is 40% (Amatya et al ) (18) and 62.8% (Amatya et al ) (18) in the gradual group. To estimate this difference in success rate at alpha error 0.05 and power = 80%, a sample of size 72 subjects is required in each group (we will take 80 subject in each group ) , which is a total of 160.

Statistical Analysis:  For the primary outcome , the significance of differences in proportion successfully weaned between the groups will be tested by  Chi–square Test (Fischer exact Test if applicable ) .For the secondary outcome (Mean post menstrual age , Mean weight , Total duration of NIV support , Mean length of stay in NICU ) will be compared by applying  Unpaired –T-Test (Mann–Whitney Test if applicable ).

P < 0.05 will be taken as significant.
