New tool to predict breathing pauses in premature babies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new tool that may help predict when babies born very early might have breathing pauses or slow heart rates. By using this tool, doctors hope to better monitor and care for your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have had episodes of apnea (pausing in breathing) and bradycardia (slow heart rate) in the last day.
- Your baby must be off breathing support (like a ventilator or CPAP) for more than 48 hours.
- Your baby must have been born before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- You must agree to let your baby be in the study, and sign a consent form.

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.
This trial is testing a special vibrating pad (Prapela®) placed in the incubator to see if it can help reduce apnea episodes (pauses in breathing) in very premature babies. It is for babies who are already getting caffeine medicine and need only minimal extra breathing support.
This study looks at whether a careful CPAP breathing support plan helps very premature babies breathe better. It may be an option for babies who are stable on low oxygen settings and have few breathing pauses.
This study tests a new automated system to detect pauses in breathing (apnoea) in premature babies who are on breathing support. It aims to improve monitoring and care for these babies.
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
