Reducing breathing problems in NICU babies on ventilators
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a way to reduce the chance of a certain breathing problem (called NAV) in babies who need a breathing machine in the NICU. If your baby has been on the machine for two days or more, they may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The baby must be in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit).
- The baby needs to be on a breathing machine (called invasive mechanical ventilation).
- The baby must stay on the breathing machine for at least 48 hours.
- The doctor in charge must decide the trial is safe for the baby.

This study is looking at how to prevent pneumonia in very small babies who are on breathing machines in Canadian NICUs. It will track infections and see if current prevention methods are working.
This study tests if a new type of breathing machine (NAVA) works better than the standard machine for babies under 2 with severe bronchiolitis in the pediatric ICU. The goal is to see which machine helps babies breathe easier and avoid needing a breathing tube.
This trial tests a teaching program for ICU staff and patients to help prevent pneumonia that can develop from being on a breathing machine. If you are on a ventilator, this program may keep you safer.
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 study tests a new type of mask and breathing machine for patients in the ICU who need non-invasive breathing support (NIV). It looks at whether this method helps you breathe better. You may be eligible if you are stable, 18 or older, and can use a mask that fits under your nose.
This trial tests a breathing-support method (called DIVA) to help premature babies breathe safely when the breathing tube is taken out. It may help more babies transition off the ventilator and avoid breathing problems during extubation.
