Breathing test in babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a breathing measurement test (forced oscillometry) in babies who were born early and have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a long-term lung condition. It may help doctors better understand how babies’ lungs are working and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be under 4 weeks old (about the first month of life) OR in the clinic’s outpatient group seen before age 2.
- Your baby was born very early (preterm) and has bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), based on standard definitions.
- The baby must be breathing on room air or only needing low-flow oxygen—and can keep oxygen levels normal for a short time (up to about 3 minutes) without needing higher support.
- The baby must not need a breathing machine or breathing mask support (no positive-pressure ventilation).
- The baby must not have a known genetic condition or a major birth defect that affects the lungs or overall health.

This study looks at babies born very early who have severe lung disease (grade 3 BPD) and still need a breathing machine. Researchers will use tests to understand their lung problems better, which may help guide their care.
This study uses MRI (a special scan) to look at babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a long-term breathing condition that can happen after being in the NICU. It aims to learn more about what’s happening in the lungs and how MRI can be used safely in these babies.
This study tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
This trial studies a breath test to predict lung disease in very premature babies. It could help doctors start treatment earlier to prevent serious breathing problems.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
This trial tests whether doing a bedside lung ultrasound can help doctors assess and manage breathing problems in very premature infants. It may help guide care decisions for infants who are struggling to breathe, especially those needing breathing support.
