Health condition and Intervention

Section to complete information about the primary medical condition(s) or problem(s) studied and, a characteristics of the intervention(s).

Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied:

Broncho-obstructive syndrome (BOS) in children

Intervention(s):

Group A (Experimental): Conventional therapy combined with SURFACEN®. SURFACEN® will be received for 3 days, by inhalation, at a dose of 3mg/kg every 8 hours with a maximum dose limit of 100mg. In patients who, after receiving six doses (48 hours of treatment), show, according to the modified Tal score, a severity category of BOS lower than that at the time of inclusion in the study, and the specialist considers, treatment with surfactant may be concluded under the criterion of responder patient. Group B (Control): Conventional therapy. Patients will receive only the conventional treatment protocolized in in Progressive Care Units (PCUs) for BOS.

Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

Severity of the Broncho-obstructive syndrome-BOS (Modified Tal Score (MTS): mild (≤ 5 points), moderate (≥ 6 and ≤ 8 points) and severe (≥ 9 and ≤ 12 points)). Measurement time: At baseline and, every 8 hours, after each administration of SURFACEN® (group A), always before receiving the next dose; simulating these times in group B.

Key secondary outcomes:

1. Clinical signs and symptoms (Heart rate-HR(value in lat/min)), Respiratory rate-RR (value in resp/min), Apnea crisis (Yes, No), Wheezing (Yes, No), Intercostal retraction (Yes, No)). Measurement time: At baseline and, every 8 hours, after each administration of SURFACEN® (group A), always before receiving the next dose; simulating these times in group B. 2. Oxygenation parameters (PCO2, pH, Oxygen therapy, SpO2). Measurement time: At baseline and, every 8 hours, after each administration of SURFACEN® (group A), always before receiving the next dose; simulating these times in group B. 3. Hospital indicators 3.1 Days of stay at the Progressive Care Units-PCU (Days from admission to PCU until discharge the PCU). Measurement time: At discharge from PCU 3.2 Days at the hospital (Days from admission to the hospital until discharge hospitality discharge). Measurement time: At hospital discharge. 4. Mortality indicators 4.1 Patient status at discharge (Alive, Deceased). Measurement time: At PCU discharge 4.2 Patient status at day 28 (Alive, Deceased and, cause of death in case of death). Measurement time: Day 28 5. Adverse Events-AE (Type of AE (description of the AE); Severity (Serious, not serious); Intensity (Mild, Moderate, Severe); Duration (Time elapsed between the start and end of the AE); Causality relationship (Very likely/Certain, probable, Probable, Possible, Improbable, Unrelated, Not assessable/unclassifiable); Attitude towards treatment (No change, Temporary interruption, Definitive interruption); Treatment of the AE (name of the indicated treatment, dose, route of administration, start and end date of the treatment); Outcome (It recovers, Enhances, Persists, Leave squeals, Death)). Measurement time: From the first dose of SURFACEN® (group A) until to eight hours after the last dose; simulating these times in group B from the randomization patient until three days later (72 hours).
