Study on breathing support decisions for very early preterm babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors decide when to remove the breathing tube (extubation) from extremely preterm babies born before 28 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to understand what affects breathing outcomes and could help improve care for these tiny infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby was born before 28 weeks of pregnancy
- Baby was admitted to the study hospital within the first 24 hours after birth
- Parent or guardian agrees to allow the baby's medical data to be collected
- Baby is not already part of another study that could affect how or when the breathing tube is removed

This study looks at the best way to set breathing support pressures for very premature babies (born before 28 weeks) after their breathing tube is removed. Researchers want to see which pressures help babies breathe easier and avoid needing the tube again.
This study looks at the best time to remove a breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures how well the baby's diaphragm (the muscle that helps them breathe) is working.
This study looks at whether doctors can predict if a newborn will need help breathing again after the breathing tube is removed. It involves babies who have been on a ventilator for at least 48 hours.
This study looks at how doctors can safely remove the breathing tube (extubation) in children who need a ventilator. It tests a specific method of observing how well a child breathes on their own before removing the tube. This could help doctors decide the best time to try extubation.
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.
This study watches how premature babies breathe before and after removal of their breathing tube. By measuring breathing patterns, doctors hope to better understand when babies are ready to breathe on their own and improve outcomes.
