INNOSTAPED: Nitric Oxide Therapy for Acute Chest Syndrome in Sickle Cell Disease Children
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Acute chest syndrome is a severe sickle cell disease complication in children requiring blood transfusion therapy to prevent acute respiratory failure and death. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator that could reverse pulmonary vascular occlusion and restore normal oxygenation. The randomized trial will test that hypothesis.

Detailed Description
Acute chest syndrome is a severe sickle cell disease complication in children requiring blood transfusion therapy to prevent acute respiratory failure and death. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator that could reverse pulmonary vascular occlusion and restore normal oxygenation. The randomized trial will test that hypothesis in a prospective randomized double-blind placebo controlled study. 50 children in two years will be included: 25 in each arm.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- We will observe the patient's transfusional needs under nitric oxide (MONOXYDE AZOTE) versus placebo inhaled therapy to evaluate inhaled MOXYDE AZOTE efficacy on improving oxygenation (transcutaneous O2 superior to 92% ) [Oxygenation improvement (transcutaneous O2 superior to 92%) after Gas inhalation will be evaluate 2hours after inclusion and therafter every 2 hours until 12 hours therapy and then every six hours for 3days and then once a day till hospital discharge]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of blood transfusions and total transfused blood volume [7 to 10 days]
- Quantity of Pain-killer drugs required and particularly OPIOIDS [7 to 10 days]
- Duration of Nitric oxide therapy [after 7 to 10 days]
- Duration of OXYGENOTHERAPY [7 to 10 days]
