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 study tests a new way to give breathing support (called high flow therapy) to premature babies who are currently using CPAP. The researchers want to see if adjusting the flow based on the baby's pressure can help them breathe more easily and maybe reduce time on breathing support.
This trial is testing a different way of giving breaths on a breathing machine to very premature babies. It aims to see which speed of lung inflation is gentler and helps babies' lungs work better. If your baby is on a special breathing machine that responds to their own breathing, this trial may help improve their breathing support.
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 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.
