Measuring oxygen use in newborns with breathing trouble
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well oxygen is being used by the body in newborns who are having breathing problems, from birth through the first hours of life. It also studies whether infection plays a role, which may help doctors better understand and treat newborn breathing trouble.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is under 6 hours old when joining the study
- Your baby currently shows breathing trouble (fast breathing, grunting, chest pulling in, flaring nostrils, or needing extra oxygen/respiratory support)
- The medical team has decided your baby will receive full life support
- A parent or legal guardian can give written consent for the study
- Your baby was born at 30 weeks or more (not earlier than 30+0 weeks)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two different starting oxygen levels for babies born a bit early (32-35 weeks) who need breathing help at birth. The goal is to find the safest oxygen level to start with to help their lungs.
This study tests a simple non-invasive score that uses blood flow in muscles to predict if a newborn has or will develop high inflammation levels (C-reactive protein). It may help doctors start treatment earlier in babies with breathing problems.
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 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 whether automatically adjusting oxygen levels for premature babies, compared with manual control, affects lung health when they reach early childhood. It involves simple breathing tests to see how their lungs are working.
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.
