Bayley Scales of Infant Development Cognitive Score at 2 Years of Age

The cognitive portion of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development assesses development in infants and toddlers between the ages of 0 and 3 years. Raw scores are converted to scale scores. A scale score of 100 is designed to represent the population mean. Scores below 100 represent developmental delay relative to the mean and scores above 100 represent advanced development relative to the mean. (NCT00809055)

Infant Neurobehavioral Scoring by Dubowitz Scale Prior to Discharge

The Dubowitz Neurologic Examination is a standardized neurologic examination for infants at term age. It includes 6 compound optimality scores summed to obtain the total optimality score. Compound optimality scores include tone (range 0-10), tone pattern (range 0-5), reflexes (range 0-6), movements (range 0-3), abnormal signs (range 0-3), and behavior (range 0-7). The range for the compound optimality score is 0 - 34, with scores between 30.5 and 34 considered optimal and scores below 30.5 considered suboptimal. (NCT00809055)

The primary aim of our study is to compare the respiratory effects of caffeine administered in the first 2 hours versus at 12 hours of life in infants <29 weeks' gestation. Our primary hypothesis is that early caffeine administered (at < 2 hours of life) can prevent the need for endotracheal intubation in the first 12 hours of life. (NCT01783561)

Cognitive Test1 - Visual Analog Scale --- Feel Bad

"Normally patients receiving anesthesia exhibit significant cognitive problems for hours after anesthesia is terminated. The goal is to determine whether caffeine helps ameliorate the cognitive issues. Fifteen minutes after terminating anesthesia each subject was asked to complete a series of psychomotor tests, if they were able. Otherwise the testing started at 30 minutes. The tests were repeated every 15 minutes. The first test, a visual analog scale (VAS) test consisted of two 100-mm lines, each labelled with of feel good or feel bad displayed on a computer screen. Test subjects were asked to rate how they currently felt by placing a cursor on each of the line (0=not at all, 100=extremely). The test repeated every 15 minutes." (NCT02567968)
Timeframe: Test was given at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 minutes after terminating anesthesia.

Waking Time - Re-establishment of the Gag Reflex.

"The goal of the study is to determine whether caffeine speeds emergence from anesthesia. The time between terminating delivery of anesthetic and the subject starting to gag was measured. Anesthesia suppresses the gag reflex. Immediately after anesthetizing the test subject, a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) device was inserted into the test subject airway. After anesthesia was terminated and emergence from anesthesia was taking place, the gag reflex was re-established, and the LMA produced a gag response in all test subjects. This objective and unequivocal measurement constituted the emergence time for each subject. The emergence time was defined as the time between terminating the anesthesia and the test subject starting to gag." (NCT02567968)

Bispectral Index

A bispectral index (BIS) measurement system was employed to measure depth of anesthesia. Using electrodes attached to the forehead to measure EEG, BIS outputs a dimensionless number between 0 and 100 that is proportional to the brain concentration of anesthetic and is thereby proportional to an individual's level of consciousness (Greenwald S, Chiang HH, Devlin P, Smith C, Sigl J, Chamoun N: The Bispectral Index (Bis2.0) as a Hypnosis Measure. Anesthesiology 1994; 81: A477-a477). When the test subjects arrive, prior to anesthesia, their BIS values are in the range of 95 - 99. That corresponds to an awake and alert state. During anesthesia, most subjects are in the range of 20 - 40, corresponding to an anesthetized state. As the anesthetic wears off, the BIS values rise until they are back in the 95 - 99 range that they were prior to anesthesia. In particular, we wished to determine whether BIS exhibited more rapid recovery after caffeine infusion as compared to saline (control). (NCT02567968)
Timeframe: Continuous monitoring from start of anesthesia until discharge of test subject, up to 2 hours post-anesthesia.

Cognitive Test2 - Sternberg Test of Memory

Normally patients receiving anesthesia exhibit significant cognitive problems for hours after anesthesia is terminated. The goal is to determine whether caffeine helps ameliorate the cognitive issues. The test was first applied at 15 minutes following anesthesia, if the subject was awake and then repeated every 15 minutes. In the Sternberg Test of Memory (STM) participants were asked to memorize a string of numbers. Afterwards, a computer would flash a series of random numbers on the screen and the participant was asked whether the number on the computer screen was part of the earlier string or not. In three rounds, participants were given a string of 2, then 4, then 6 numbers. The latency until the subject answered the question was monitored and this is the data summarized here. (NCT02567968)
Timeframe: Test was given at 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes after terminating anesthesia.

Cognitive Test3 - Divided Attention Task

Normally patients receiving anesthesia exhibit significant cognitive problems for hours after anesthesia is terminated. The goal is to determine whether caffeine helps ameliorate the cognitive issues. The test was first applied at 15 minutes following anesthesia, if the subject was awake and then repeated every 15 minutes. In the Divided Attention Task (DAT), participants were asked to fly an airplane over the center of a winding road with a joystick and simultaneously press a button whenever targets randomly flashed on the screen. The computer program tracked the root mean squared (RMS) deviation of the plane from the center of the road and the latency for pressing the trigger when the target appeared. (NCT02567968)
Timeframe: Test was given at 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes after terminating anesthesia.
