Using pressure-sensing mattresses to help newborns breathe on their own
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special mattress that senses breathing movements can help doctors decide when to remove breathing support from newborns. It may reduce the time babies need a breathing machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is currently on a breathing machine (either through a tube or a mask) that has a sensor to measure airflow.
- You, as the legal guardian, agree to and sign a consent form allowing your baby to join the study.

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 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 checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
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 study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
This study tests a simple breathing machine called the Neovent for newborns with mild to moderate breathing trouble in hospitals with limited resources. It aims to see if the device can help babies breathe easier without needing a breathing tube.
