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.
Who can take part
- Born at 32 weeks or later
- Delivery attended by the neonatal resuscitation team
- Routine stomach suctioning is needed after birth
- Parent or guardian agreed to the Minnesota Research Authorization (or didn't say no)
- No known birth defects, planned comfort care only, or other causes of breathing problems

This study compares two simple checklists that doctors use to score how much breathing help a newborn needs. It aims to find which checklist better predicts how your baby will do, which could help doctors make quicker treatment decisions.
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 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 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 compares two types of non-invasive breathing support for premature babies who are having trouble breathing due to underdeveloped lungs. The goal is to see which method works better and helps babies breathe comfortably without needing a breathing tube.
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
