Speed of lung inflation for very premature babies on a breathing machine
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is currently in a participating newborn intensive care unit (NICU)
- Your baby was born between 22 and 27 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby weighs at least 400 grams (about 14 ounces)
- Your baby is on a specific type of breathing machine that delivers every breath with a set volume and responds to their own breathing
- Your baby is less than 7 days old
- Your baby received surfactant (a medicine to help their lungs open) after birth
- Your baby does not have major heart, lung, or bowel conditions or a genetic syndrome

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 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 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 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 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 compares two types of non-invasive breathing support for premature babies who are having trouble breathing due to underdeveloped lungs. The goal is to see which method works better and helps babies breathe comfortably without needing a breathing tube.
