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 tests a special way of slowly reducing the breathing machine's support to help strengthen your breathing muscles. If you are on a ventilator in the ICU, this might help you breathe better on your own and recover faster.
This study tests a special type of breathing support (called NIV-NAVA) in babies with severe bronchiolitis, a lung infection that makes breathing hard. The goal is to see if this support helps babies breathe better and avoid needing a breathing tube.
This study tests a specific type of breathing machine (ventilator) that adjusts air pressure to help newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension breathe better. It aims to see if this method improves oxygen levels and outcomes for babies needing mechanical ventilation in their first week of life.
This study watches patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) to learn more about pneumonia that can happen from the machine. The goal is to understand how to better prevent and treat this infection.
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 tracks and prevents lung infections in very low birth weight babies who are on breathing machines in Canadian NICUs. It helps doctors understand and reduce these infections to improve outcomes.
