Preventing nasal injuries in preterm babies on breathing support
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if using special care steps can prevent nose sores in preterm babies who need breathing support through a mask or nasal prongs. It may help protect your baby's delicate nose from injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby should be born between 30 and 37 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby must be getting non-invasive breathing support (like a CPAP mask or nasal prongs).
- Your baby must not have any existing nose injury from the breathing support or from a breathing tube.
- Your baby must not have any nose or upper airway problems (like a blocked or misshapen nose).
- Your baby must not have serious birth defects or life-threatening conditions.

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 compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
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 looks at whether different types of breathing masks (non-invasive ventilation interfaces) can help prevent sores or injuries on a premature baby's nose. It may help find gentler ways to support breathing while protecting delicate skin.
This study compares two types of non-invasive breathing support for premature babies who are having trouble breathing due to underdeveloped lungs. The goal is to see which method works better and helps babies breathe comfortably without needing a breathing tube.
