Starting oxygen levels for premature infants needing breathing help
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two different starting oxygen levels for babies born a bit early (32-35 weeks) who need breathing help at birth. The goal is to find the safest oxygen level to start with to help their lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 32 and 35 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby needed help breathing right after birth
- Your baby was expected to receive full medical care at birth, not just comfort care
- Your baby has no known major birth defects
- Your baby was born at a participating study hospital

This study looks at how well oxygen is being used by the body in newborns who are having breathing problems, from birth through the first hours of life. It also studies whether infection plays a role, which may help doctors better understand and treat newborn breathing trouble.
This study looks at how different pressure settings on breathing support after coming off the ventilator affect very premature babies. It aims to find the best way to keep babies stable and reduce lung damage.
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 looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
This trial tests a device that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for premature babies who need help breathing through tubes or masks in their nose. The goal is to keep oxygen levels in a safer, more stable range without needing staff to manually adjust it constantly.
This study looks at whether automatically adjusting oxygen levels for premature babies, compared with manual control, affects lung health when they reach early childhood. It involves simple breathing tests to see how their lungs are working.
