Testing nasal high-flow settings in stable preterm babies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests how different nasal high-flow “flow strength” settings affect breathing stability in preterm infants. It may help clinicians choose settings that keep heart rate and breathing steadier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born early (up to 31 weeks 6 days) and is cared for at the listed hospitals
- Your baby is older than the first 2 days of life
- Your baby must have been stable on CPAP 6 cm H2O for at least 24 hours
- Your baby’s oxygen need must be low (FiO2 0.3 or less) and not getting higher
- Your baby should not need rescue breathing support (no intermittent positive pressure ventilation)

This study watches how changing the flow of air through a breathing device (high-flow nasal cannula) affects carbon dioxide levels in preemies. It helps doctors learn the safest way to adjust breathing support for fragile infants.
This study tests a new medicine called APC-0101, a type of surfactant, for premature babies with breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome). It may help their lungs work better and reduce the need for more breathing support.
This study tests a new way to give breathing support (called high flow therapy) to premature babies who are currently using CPAP. The researchers want to see if adjusting the flow based on the baby's pressure can help them breathe more easily and maybe reduce time on breathing support.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
This study compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
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.
