Helps premature babies breathe during breathing tube removal
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a breathing-support method (called DIVA) to help premature babies breathe safely when the breathing tube is taken out. It may help more babies transition off the ventilator and avoid breathing problems during extubation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby was born between 23 weeks 0 days and 28 weeks 6 days of pregnancy
- Baby was placed on a breathing machine (intubated) within the first 7 days after birth
- Baby has had a breathing machine for at least 12 hours and is ready to have the tube removed (extubated)
- At the time of tube removal, the baby’s age is under 32 weeks after the due date was counted in (post-menstrual age)
- Baby can have a small tube through the nose/mouth for the breathing measurement (no bleeding or other blockage concerns)
- Baby has no major birth defects that strongly affect the lungs, and no brain/nerve conditions that would affect breathing effort (except apnea of prematurity)

This study looks at the best time to remove the breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures the baby's breathing effort to guide the decision, which may help them transition to breathing without support.
This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
This study looks at how different pressure settings on breathing support after coming off the ventilator affect very premature babies. It aims to find the best way to keep babies stable and reduce lung damage.
This study tests a special type of breathing support (called NIV-NAVA) in babies with severe bronchiolitis, a lung infection that makes breathing hard. The goal is to see if this support helps babies breathe better and avoid needing a breathing tube.
This trial tests a new non-invasive breathing support that adjusts to each baby's own breathing pattern. It aims to help very premature infants breathe more comfortably and avoid more invasive ventilation.
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.
