Better breathing help for very premature infants
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to help very premature babies (born 23 to 26 weeks) who need a breathing tube. The method aims to remove stale air from the breathing circuit so they can breathe easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests a new treatment to help very premature babies (born at 22 to nearly 29 weeks) who still need a breathing machine and extra oxygen at 1–2 weeks old. The goal is to see if it can improve their lung health and reduce the need for breathing support.
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 trial compares the speed of lung inflation (fast vs. slow) during mechanical ventilation for extremely preterm infants. It aims to find which approach is safer and more effective for their breathing support.
This study tests a different way to secure the breathing tube in preterm babies on a ventilator. It may help reduce skin problems or unplanned tube removal in the NICU.
This study looks at a different way to help very premature babies breathe in the first minutes after birth, which may improve their breathing and reduce lung problems.
