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 looks at how different pressure settings on breathing support after coming off the ventilator affect very premature babies. It aims to find the best way to keep babies stable and reduce lung damage.
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 tests a new way to give breathing support (called high flow therapy) to premature babies who are currently using CPAP. The researchers want to see if adjusting the flow based on the baby's pressure can help them breathe more easily and maybe reduce time on breathing support.
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 a specific type of breathing machine (ventilator) that adjusts air pressure to help newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension breathe better. It aims to see if this method improves oxygen levels and outcomes for babies needing mechanical ventilation in their first week of life.
