Test a breathing check to prevent breathing tube failure in preemies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks a specific bedside breathing test (called an SBT) to see if it can better predict when a premature baby is likely to fail extubation (having the breathing tube removed). If the test is accurate, it may help doctors time tube removal more safely and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born very early (before 32 weeks of pregnancy).
- Your baby has been on a breathing machine through a tube for at least 48 hours.
- Doctors say your baby is ready to try removing the breathing tube (based on breathing signs and recent machine/oxygen/blood test results).
- Your baby successfully completes the study’s breathing trial test (SBT).
- You (parent/legal guardian) sign consent for the study before the extubation attempt.

This study looks at the best time to remove a breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures how well the baby's diaphragm (the muscle that helps them breathe) is working.
This study tests a different way to secure the breathing tube in preterm babies on a ventilator. It may help reduce skin problems or unplanned tube removal in the NICU.
This study uses an ultrasound measure of how your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) moves in coordination as a way to predict whether you can successfully come off the breathing machine. If you are ready to try breathing on your own with a support mode, the test may help doctors know when you are truly ready to be free of the ventilator.
This trial uses ultrasound to check if patients on a breathing machine are ready to have the tube removed. It may help doctors decide the safest time to try stopping the breathing machine.
This study watches how premature babies breathe before and after removal of their breathing tube. By measuring breathing patterns, doctors hope to better understand when babies are ready to breathe on their own and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how doctors decide when to remove the breathing tube (extubation) from extremely preterm babies born before 28 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to understand what affects breathing outcomes and could help improve care for these tiny infants.
