Weaning preterm babies off high-frequency breathing machines
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ways to safely take preterm babies off a special breathing machine (HFOV). It aims to find which method works better for babies with breathing problems (respiratory distress syndrome).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at 34 weeks or earlier
- Your baby has respiratory distress syndrome (breathing trouble)
- Your baby has been on a high-frequency ventilator (HFOV) for more than 24 hours
- Your baby needed the ventilator because non-invasive breathing help (like CPAP) didn't work, due to high carbon dioxide levels, low oxygen, or frequent pauses in breathing

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 whether a special type of high-flow nasal therapy can help children come off a breathing machine (ventilator) more successfully. It compares standard care with this extra support to find what works best for kids ages 2 months to 13 years.
This study tests two different types of breathing exercises to help people who are on a breathing machine get off it faster. The goal is to see which method works best and is safest.
This trial studies how ultrasound of the heart and lungs can show which airspaces in the lungs are opening up (“lung recruitment”) in preterm babies who are having breathing trouble and need an advanced breathing machine. It may help clinicians better monitor lung recovery and adjust care.
This study compares two ways of helping very preterm infants breathe: a special high-frequency ventilation method versus the standard mechanical ventilator. It aims to see which method works better for preterm babies with breathing failure soon after birth.
This study tests a new way of using a breathing machine (high-frequency ventilation) for premature babies with breathing problems. It may help your baby's lungs work better if they were born early and need help breathing.
