Breathing tube removal pressures in very premature babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby was on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 36 hours straight before the tube was removed.
- Before the tube was removed, the average air pressure from the machine was 13 or lower (cmH2O).
- After the tube was removed, your baby received breathing support through a mask or nose prongs for at least one hour.
- Your baby does not have a major genetic, chromosomal, or birth defect that could affect breathing.

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 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.
This study looks at the best time to remove a breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures how well the baby's diaphragm (the muscle that helps them breathe) is working.
This study looks at how doctors can safely remove the breathing tube (extubation) in children who need a ventilator. It tests a specific method of observing how well a child breathes on their own before removing the tube. This could help doctors decide the best time to try extubation.
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.
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.
