Lung ultrasound check for breathing problems in very premature babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing a bedside lung ultrasound can help doctors assess and manage breathing problems in very premature infants. It may help guide care decisions for infants who are struggling to breathe, especially those needing breathing support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy (very premature)
- Baby currently has respiratory distress syndrome (a common breathing problem in premature babies) OR
- Baby has a PDA (a specific heart blood-vessel connection problem) OR
- Baby received post-birth steroid treatment to help wean off a breathing machine/ventilation support
- Baby does not have a critical heart-and-lung condition or a serious genetic anomaly

This study looks at whether lung ultrasound scores can better predict a common breathing problem in premature babies (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) compared to standard clinical tools. It may help identify early which babies need extra breathing support.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
This trial studies a breath test to predict lung disease in very premature babies. It could help doctors start treatment earlier to prevent serious breathing problems.
This study looks at very early signs of a lung problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia in babies born before 26 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find better ways to predict and maybe prevent this condition.
This Phase 1 trial tests whether giving stem cells into a breathing tube is safe and may help prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a serious lung condition in very premature infants. It focuses on babies soon after birth who already need breathing support and are at risk.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
