Better breathing support for very preterm babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 22 weeks and 30 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby has been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 4 hours.
- This is the first time they will be moved off the machine to a gentler support called CPAP.
- Your baby does not have a major heart, lung, or stomach problem, or a genetic syndrome that affects breathing.
- You or the legal guardian can give permission for the study.

This trial compares the speed of lung inflation (fast vs. slow) during mechanical ventilation for extremely preterm infants. It aims to find which approach is safer and more effective for their breathing support.
This study compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
This trial tests a special breathing support called bubble CPAP, given right after birth in the delivery room, to help preterm babies (born before 34 weeks) who are having trouble breathing. It aims to see if starting this treatment early can improve their breathing and health.
This study looks at whether a careful CPAP breathing support plan helps very premature babies breathe better. It may be an option for babies who are stable on low oxygen settings and have few breathing pauses.
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 watches how a premature baby's diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves when receiving CPAP breathing support. CPAP is a common gentle air pressure treatment that helps newborns breathe better. Understanding this movement may help doctors improve breathing support for very premature babies.
