Different oxygen levels at birth for very preterm babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether giving 30% versus 60% oxygen during early resuscitation (breathing support) affects brain and nerve development in very low birthweight, very preterm infants. If you/your baby fits the birth and care timing requirements, the goal is to find an oxygen approach that supports better long-term outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby must be born very preterm, between 23 weeks 0 days and 28 weeks 6 days gestation
- Baby must receive full resuscitation at birth at the study hospital (breathing support/resuscitation team present)
- Baby must be born at the study center (not transferred from another hospital after birth)
- Baby must not have a major congenital (from-birth) condition
- Baby must be able to receive the study’s oxygen strategy as part of resuscitation

This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
This study compares two breathing support methods — high-flow nasal cannula and CPAP — for very premature babies born between 28 and 31 weeks. It aims to find which approach helps them breathe best when they need help right after birth.
This trial tests whether giving a specific oxygen concentration at birth helps late-preterm babies who need breathing support. It aims to find the best oxygen level to improve outcomes.
This study looks at how different levels of CPAP (a breathing machine that helps keep the lungs open) affect oxygen delivery and lung expansion in preterm babies. It may help doctors understand the best settings for infants who need breathing support.
This study looks at the best oxygen saturation targets and resuscitation approach for very premature babies right after birth. It may help clinicians guide breathing support more safely in the first minutes of life.
This study looks at a different way to help very premature babies breathe in the first minutes after birth, which may improve their breathing and reduce lung problems.
