Finding the best time to stop CPAP in very small babies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at when to safely take very small babies (born before 30 weeks) off breathing support called CPAP. It aims to find the ideal time to help their lungs grow stronger.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study asks parents of premature babies about their experience with two types of breathing support, including a newer device called OptiPAP Junior. Your answers will help doctors understand how parents feel about these treatments.
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 study compares two types of breathing support for very small babies in the NICU who need extra oxygen. It aims to see which method works better to help these premature babies breathe. If your baby is extremely low birth weight and needs oxygen, this trial might be relevant.
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 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 looks at whether a careful CPAP breathing support plan helps very premature babies breathe better. It may be an option for babies who are stable on low oxygen settings and have few breathing pauses.
