Different levels of BiPAP for preterm babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at different levels of BiPAP—a breathing machine that helps preterm babies breathe—to find the best setting. It's for babies born before 34 weeks who need breathing support, either before a tube, after coming off one, or after a week of help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born before 34 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby must be between 2 days and 2 months old when they join the study.
- Your baby needs help breathing with a machine (BiPAP) before a breathing tube, after coming off the tube, or after 7 days of support.
- Your baby cannot have any birth defects in their lungs or airways.
- Your baby must not have a confirmed blood infection (sepsis).
- Your baby must not have had stomach or intestinal surgery in the last week.

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 looks at babies born very early who have severe lung disease (grade 3 BPD) and still need a breathing machine. Researchers will use tests to understand their lung problems better, which may help guide their care.
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 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 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.
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.
