Lung ultrasound to guide breathing tube removal in newborns
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound helps doctors decide the best time to remove a breathing tube from preterm and full-term newborns. It may reduce the chance of needing to put the tube back in.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn (born before or at full term) and is on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- Your baby is being cared for at the Medical University of Graz's newborn intensive care unit.
- You have signed a consent form allowing your baby to be in the study before the breathing tube is removed.

This study uses a special lung ultrasound to look at how well a baby's lungs are working. It is for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who need help breathing. The goal is to see if the ultrasound can give doctors useful information.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound pictures can help doctors decide how to support breathing in infants who need extra help, including surfactant therapy. If successful, ultrasound may reduce the need for X-rays and improve care.
This trial uses lung ultrasound to check if preterm babies under 33 weeks can have their breathing support adjusted safely. It may help reduce the need for a breathing tube.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
This trial uses a lung ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) right after birth to help doctors understand the lungs of very premature babies (born before 26 weeks). It aims to see if this early scan can guide better breathing support.
This study uses an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
