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 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 the best way to set breathing support pressures for very premature babies (born before 28 weeks) after their breathing tube is removed. Researchers want to see which pressures help babies breathe easier and avoid needing the tube again.
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.
This study looks at whether doctors can predict if a newborn will need help breathing again after the breathing tube is removed. It involves babies who have been on a ventilator for at least 48 hours.
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.
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.
