Comparing breathing help methods for newborns
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways to help newborns who are not breathing well right after birth. One method gives a sustained breath followed by chest compressions, and the other uses a 3:1 ratio of breaths to compressions. The goal is to find out which works best to get babies breathing on their own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 28 and 43 weeks of pregnancy (born full term or a bit early).
- Your baby needs full help to start breathing (no planned comfort care only).
- Your baby does not have any known major birth defects or chromosome problems.

This trial is testing a special way of giving breaths (ventilation) during CPR to see if it helps more people survive a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It is for adults whose heart stopped due to a heart problem and were treated by paramedics.
This trial looks at babies who needed immediate breathing help at birth. It studies how doctors and nurses provide that care in the delivery room to improve outcomes for newborns.
This trial compares different ways to give breaths using a breathing tube during CPR to find the best approach for people having a cardiac arrest in the hospital.
This study compares two breathing support methods — high-flow nasal cannula and CPAP — for very premature babies born between 28 and 31 weeks. It aims to find which approach helps them breathe best when they need help right after birth.
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen and breathing support to newborns in the NICU. It may help find which device works best for very small babies who still need significant oxygen.
This trial tests whether a specific breathing technique (PEEP) during CPR helps improve outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated by emergency medical teams.
