Testing two breathing machines in very preterm babies
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of helping very preterm infants breathe: a special high-frequency ventilation method versus the standard mechanical ventilator. It aims to see which method works better for preterm babies with breathing failure soon after birth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby was born very early, between 24 weeks 0 days and 31 weeks 6 days.
- Baby went to the NICU within 1 hour after birth.
- Baby was diagnosed with breathing distress caused by the birth event (perinatal ARDS) and was on a ventilator.
- Before randomization, baby must be “stable on the ventilator” for 2 hours, with specific blood oxygen, breathing rate, and blood gas values.
- Parents/guardians must agree to join the study.
- Baby must not have major birth defects, major chromosome problems, or serious brain bleeding before the study starts.

This study tests a new breathing method (high-frequency oscillatory ventilation) for patients in the ICU who need a breathing tube. It looks at how safe it is and how it affects the body, and is for people with certain lung problems like ARDS or collapsed lungs.
This trial tests two different ways to safely take preterm babies off a special breathing machine (HFOV). It aims to find which method works better for babies with breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome).
This trial is studying how to use a special breathing machine (high frequency oscillatory ventilation) in newborns. The goal is to improve the settings for better breathing support.
This study compares two types of noninvasive breathing support (NHFOV and NIMV) used after a premature baby's breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method helps babies breathe more smoothly after extubation.
This study compares two gentle ways of helping premature babies breathe (using a mask or small tubes in the nose) to see which works better for babies with breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to support babies born early who need help taking their first breaths.
This study tests a new method of ventilating premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who have breathing trouble shortly after birth. It aims to see if this method improves their breathing and health outcomes.
