Predicting breathing help needs for newborns in NICUs
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Delivery attended by the neonatal resuscitation team
- Routine stomach suctioning is needed after birth

This study looks at a different way to help very premature babies breathe in the first minutes after birth, which may improve their breathing and reduce lung problems.
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.
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen and breathing support to newborns in the NICU. It may help find which device works best for very small babies who still need significant oxygen.
This study compares two scoring methods (Silverman-Andersen and Downes) to see which one better helps doctors decide how to treat breathing problems in newborn babies. It focuses on preterm and full-term babies who need breathing support with a special mask (NIPPV).
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 study looks at whether doctors can predict if a newborn will need help breathing again after the breathing tube is removed. It involves babies who have been on a ventilator for at least 48 hours.
