Predicting lung injury in premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at premature babies to see if we can predict lung injury early. It may help doctors provide better care for babies born early or with low birth weight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Birth weight less than 1500 grams
- Have respiratory distress syndrome (breathing trouble after birth)
- Born at the study hospital (not transferred from another hospital)
- No major birth defects, genetic problems, or lung abnormalities
- Did not need a breathing machine for more than 72 hours after birth

This study is testing whether using ultrasound pictures of the lungs (called lung ultrasound) can help doctors choose the best breathing support for premature babies. It will involve babies who are already on NCPAP, a common breathing machine, and may help improve their treatment.
This study watches how premature babies breathe before and after removal of their breathing tube. By measuring breathing patterns, doctors hope to better understand when babies are ready to breathe on their own and improve outcomes.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
This study compares the early lung development of very premature babies who had growth problems in the womb to those who did not. The goal is to understand how growth in the womb affects lung health after birth.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
This study looks at medical information from premature babies to find early signs of a lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which can affect breathing. The goal is to help doctors predict and manage this condition better.
