Safer breathing tube taping for premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a different way to secure the breathing tube in preterm babies on a ventilator. It may help reduce skin problems or unplanned tube removal in the NICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy and is in the NICU.
- Your baby is on a breathing machine (ventilator) with a tube in their mouth.
- Your baby does not have a skin condition they were born with.
- Your baby's weight at birth was appropriate for their age (not too small or too large).
- Your baby has been on the ventilator for at least 24 hours (no unplanned tube removal).

This study looks at the best time to remove the breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures the baby's breathing effort to guide the decision, which may help them transition to breathing without support.
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 newborn babies who need a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) to help them breathe. It aims to understand how germs (colonization) grow on the tube, which could help improve care for babies in the future.
This study tests different ways to hold preterm babies skin-to-skin during tube feedings to see which position is most comfortable and helps feeding go smoothly. It aims to improve care for babies born early.
This trial focuses on newborns in the NICU who need a breathing tube placed through the mouth or airway. It aims to improve the success and safety of the first intubation while reducing risks.
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.
