Comparing two breathing supports for preterm babies with breathing problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of breathing support (CPAP and NIPPV) for preterm babies with breathing problems. It aims to find which method works better for helping babies breathe easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born between 22 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby needs help breathing (respiratory support) as decided by the doctor.
- Your baby cannot have major birth defects (congenital anomalies).
- Your baby's heart and blood circulation must be stable (no cardiovascular instability).
- You must give permission (consent) for your baby to be in the study.

This trial uses lung ultrasound to check if preterm babies under 33 weeks can have their breathing support adjusted safely. It may help reduce the need for a breathing tube.
This study compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
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 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 how different levels of CPAP (a breathing machine that helps keep the lungs open) affect oxygen delivery and lung expansion in preterm babies. It may help doctors understand the best settings for infants who need 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.
