Breathing help for extremely premature babies at birth
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to help extremely premature babies breathe right after birth: using a manual T-piece or a ventilator. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 25 to 28 weeks pregnant (using the doctor's best guess of your due date).
- Your baby is expected to receive full life-saving care at birth (not just comfort care).
- Your baby needs help breathing (positive pressure) during the first 10 minutes after birth.

This study tests a supraglottic airway device (a tube that sits above the voice box) versus a face mask for helping premature babies breathe right after birth. It may help doctors choose the best way to support your baby's first breaths.
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 breathing support methods — high-flow nasal cannula and CPAP — for very premature babies born between 28 and 31 weeks. It aims to find which approach helps them breathe best when they need help right after birth.
This study looks at a different way to help very premature babies breathe in the first minutes after birth, which may improve their breathing and reduce lung problems.
This trial compares the speed of lung inflation (fast vs. slow) during mechanical ventilation for extremely preterm infants. It aims to find which approach is safer and more effective for their breathing 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.
