Humidity in incubators for very premature babies
This study looks at how different humidity levels in incubators affect very premature babies born before 25 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to find the best conditions to help their delicate skin and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born at your study hospital at less than 25 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby must be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
- Your baby must not have a known skin condition present at birth.
- Your baby's gestational age must be known before birth.

This study follows babies born very early (before 27 weeks of pregnancy) who were treated at specialized neonatal centers. Researchers track their health and development over time to better understand how to care for extremely premature infants.
This study is testing a new incubator that lets parents hold their preterm baby skin-to-skin while the baby still gets the warmth and humidity of an incubator. It may help your baby grow and bond with you.
This study looks at two ways of providing control or calming in incubators for very preterm babies (born before 32 weeks) to see how they affect growth and health problems. It may help caregivers learn which method supports safer, healthier development.
This trial tests whether a special bed called the Skincubator can safely allow parents to hold their premature baby skin-to-skin. It aims to see if this is a safe and feasible way to provide this comforting contact in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
This study helps preterm babies who are ready to leave the incubator and go home sooner. It tests whether a new care plan can safely support the transition from hospital to home.
This study follows babies born at exactly 22 weeks of pregnancy (very early, before typical viability) who were cared for in a hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand outcomes and care practices for these extremely premature infants.
