Checking stability after breathing tube removal in tiny preemies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how stable extremely premature, very low-weight babies are after their breathing tube is removed for the first time. It aims to understand what helps these tiny infants breathe well on their own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby weighed less than 1000 grams (about 2.2 pounds) at birth.
- Your baby was born before 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby needed a breathing machine (ventilator) within the first 3 days of life.
- Your baby will have their first planned breathing tube removal within the first 6 weeks of life.
- Your baby does not have serious birth defects or heart problems.

This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
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 newborns on breathing machines to find signs that predict whether they can safely come off the machine. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about when to remove the breathing tube.
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.
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 study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
