Breathing support study for very early preterm babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a specific breathing technique (using PEEP to open up collapsed parts of the lungs) can help very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who need breathing support. Researchers want to see if it can improve lung function in the first two weeks of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby born before 32 weeks of pregnancy (based on the mother's periods or early ultrasound).
- Baby is on CPAP or a breathing machine (ventilator) for breathing help.
- One parent has given written permission (consent) for the baby to take part.
- Baby is less than 2 weeks old (within 14 days of birth).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a painless electrical sensor method (EIT) to help find the best positive end-expiratory pressure setting for newborns on a ventilator. The goal is to improve how the ventilator supports breathing in the early days of life.
This study is testing whether using ultrasound pictures of the lungs (called lung ultrasound) can help doctors choose the best breathing support for premature babies. It will involve babies who are already on NCPAP, a common breathing machine, and may help improve their treatment.
This study measures how the lungs of preterm babies (born before 30 weeks) expand during synchronized breathing support. It aims to understand how well this ventilator method works for very young infants.
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 looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
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.
