Positioning for babies with breathing problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if different body positions help babies under 1 year old with breathing problems breathe better while on oxygen support (High-Flow or CPAP).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 0–12 months old
- Your baby has a respiratory infection (like bronchiolitis)
- Your baby needs high-flow oxygen or CPAP to help with breathing
- You (the parent or legal guardian) agree to let your baby join
- Your baby does not have a serious chronic lung, heart, or brain condition
- Your baby is not in the intensive care unit

This trial tests whether lying on your stomach while awake (called awake prone positioning) can help people with pneumonia who have low oxygen levels in the ICU. It aims to see if this simple position change can improve breathing and avoid the need for a breathing machine.
This trial tests whether turning very sick, ventilated infants onto their stomach (prone positioning) can improve breathing when they have severe lung distress from likely pneumonia or bronchiolitis. It may help your baby get better oxygen levels and recover faster, while doctors closely monitor safety.
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 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 looks at how doctors manage breathing support for children in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for kids who need help breathing.
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.
