Preventing and treating diaper rash in the NICU with air time
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study is testing whether giving babies in the NICU time without a diaper (air time) helps prevent or treat diaper rash. It is for babies who are at least 30 weeks old at birth, up to 1 year old, and in stable condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares using mother's breast milk against using a barrier cream to treat diaper rash in babies up to 24 months old. It aims to find which method works better for healing the rash.
This trial gives a medication called surfactant early (when oxygen needs are slightly increased) to very premature babies with breathing trouble. It aims to see if this early treatment helps them breathe better without needing a breathing tube, potentially improving their outcomes.
This study tests a new tool to check the risk of skin injuries (pressure injuries) in newborn babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. Your baby might be helped by better prevention and care.
This study looks at how holding your baby skin-to-skin affects their health and development, for babies born at 32 weeks or earlier.
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.
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a substance that helps lungs stay open) to premature babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) through a mask on the throat (supraglottic airway) is safe and effective. It may be an option for babies who need extra oxygen but are not on a breathing tube.
