Lung volume changes during breathing support in preterm infants
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study measures how the lungs of preterm babies (born before 30 weeks) expand during synchronized breathing support. It aims to understand how well this ventilator method works for very young infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 30 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby is less than 4 weeks old (chronological age).
- Your baby is currently on a type of breathing support called synchronized NIPPV (a ventilator that helps them breathe).
- Your baby does not have any severe birth defects that affect lung or heart function.
- Your baby is stable enough to participate, in the opinion of the treating doctor.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses a painless electrical sensor method (EIT) to help find the best positive end-expiratory pressure setting for newborns on a ventilator. The goal is to improve how the ventilator supports breathing in the early days of life.
This study tests if a specific breathing technique (using PEEP to open up collapsed parts of the lungs) can help very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) who need breathing support. Researchers want to see if it can improve lung function in the first two weeks of life.
This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
This trial uses a safe, non-invasive technique called EIT to monitor heart and lung function in children and young adults with certain heart or lung conditions, compared with healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better understand and manage these conditions.
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.
