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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 trial tests whether certain physical therapy exercises for the arms and chest can help patients get off a breathing machine (ventilator) faster. It compares two different exercises and a breathing-machine setting to see which works best.
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 method of ventilating premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who have breathing trouble shortly after birth. It aims to see if this method improves their breathing and health outcomes.
