Comparing suctioning methods for babies on breathing tubes
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of suctioning the breathing tube in newborns who are on a ventilator. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a preterm or full-term newborn.
- Your baby's birth weight must be more than 1000 grams (about 2.2 pounds).
- Your baby must have a breathing tube in place (endotracheal tube).
- Your baby cannot have a heart condition that causes blue skin (cyanotic congenital heart disease).
- Your baby cannot have an irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia).

This study tests a supraglottic airway device (a tube that sits above the voice box) versus a face mask for helping premature babies breathe right after birth. It may help doctors choose the best way to support your baby's first breaths.
This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
This study watches how premature babies breathe before and after removal of their breathing tube. By measuring breathing patterns, doctors hope to better understand when babies are ready to breathe on their own and improve outcomes.
This study compares two types of noninvasive breathing support (NHFOV and NIMV) used after a premature baby's breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method helps babies breathe more smoothly after extubation.
This study compares two gentle ways of helping premature babies breathe (using a mask or small tubes in the nose) to see which works better for babies with breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to support babies born early who need help taking their first breaths.
This study compares two ways of giving surfactant (a lung-coating medicine) to newborns with breathing trouble: LISA (a gentler, less invasive method) versus traditional breathing tube delivery. Researchers will use ultrasound to see how the medicine spreads in each baby's lungs to find the best approach.
