Blood pressure in lung arteries and oxygen levels in preemies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing oxygen targets in preterm infants with high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) helps their heart and lungs work better. It may help doctors find the best oxygen levels for these babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born between 22 weeks and 31 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy
- Have high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) seen on a heart ultrasound
- Currently need extra oxygen to breathe
- Their eyes (retinas) are fully developed

This study tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
This study tests a way to monitor and adjust oxygen therapy from home for premature babies with a long-term lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The goal is to see if remote monitoring can improve oxygen management and reduce complications.
This trial tests whether inhaled nitric oxide gas can help full-term newborns who have severe breathing problems and high blood pressure in their lungs. It aims to improve oxygen levels and reduce the need for more intensive support.
This study looks at the best oxygen saturation targets and resuscitation approach for very premature babies right after birth. It may help clinicians guide breathing support more safely in the first minutes of life.
This trial tests a new way to deliver breathing support to premature infants using high-flow nasal cannula, aiming to keep their airways open with less pressure than CPAP. It may help babies who are already stable on CPAP but need oxygen.
This study looks at how different levels of CPAP (a breathing machine that helps keep the lungs open) affect oxygen delivery and lung expansion in preterm babies. It may help doctors understand the best settings for infants who need breathing support.
