Nasal cannula vs. high-flow for tiny NICU babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of breathing support for very small babies in the NICU who need extra oxygen. It aims to see which method works better to help these premature babies breathe. If your baby is extremely low birth weight and needs oxygen, this trial might be relevant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
- Your baby's weight should be between 400 and 500 grams (about 0.9 to 1.1 pounds).
- Your baby needs to be getting extra oxygen at a level greater than 30%.
- Your baby's lungs cannot show signs of a collapsed or consolidated area on x-ray.
- Your baby should not have certain serious conditions, like severe infection, pneumonia, heart defects, or skin problems that would interfere with the treatment.

This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
This study looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
This study tests a new way to give breathing support (called high flow therapy) to premature babies who are currently using CPAP. The researchers want to see if adjusting the flow based on the baby's pressure can help them breathe more easily and maybe reduce time on breathing support.
This study compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
This study tests a gentle breathing support method called high-flow nasal cannula to help very premature babies breathe more easily after birth. It aims to find a safe way to stabilize their breathing, which could improve their health.
This study compares two ways to give breathing support to premature babies: a nasal cannula (small tube with two prongs) versus a single nasal prong. The goal is to see which method works better and is more comfortable for babies who need help breathing.
