Testing lung inflation speed in very premature babies on ventilators
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
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 tests a new way to deliver breathing support to premature infants using high-flow nasal cannula, aiming to keep their airways open with less pressure than CPAP. It may help babies who are already stable on CPAP but need oxygen.
This trial tests a new treatment to help very premature babies (born at 22 to nearly 29 weeks) who still need a breathing machine and extra oxygen at 1–2 weeks old. The goal is to see if it can improve their lung health and reduce the need for breathing support.
