Measuring breathing pressure in newborns using EIT
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a painless electrical sensor method (EIT) to help find the best positive end-expiratory pressure setting for newborns on a ventilator. The goal is to improve how the ventilator supports breathing in the early days of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 22 and 41 weeks of pregnancy (gestational age).
- Your baby needs a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation).
- A parent or guardian can provide written consent for the study.
- Your baby does not have major birth defects of the lungs or heart.
- Your baby is not being treated with a special ventilator type called high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if a specific breathing technique (using PEEP to open up collapsed parts of the lungs) can help very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who need breathing support. Researchers want to see if it can improve lung function in the first two weeks of life.
This study measures how the lungs of preterm babies (born before 30 weeks) expand during synchronized breathing support. It aims to understand how well this ventilator method works for very young infants.
This trial uses a special imaging tool (EIT) to find the best air pressure in the breathing tube for children on a ventilator. It aims to improve lung function in children with a lung condition called PARDS.
This study tests a way to set breathing machine pressures using electrical imaging of the lungs. It aims to find the best settings for patients with lung injury after trauma or major surgery, helping them breathe better with less damage.
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to set the breathing machine's pressure can improve oxygen levels and lung function in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung condition.
This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
