Salbutamol for fast breathing in newborns
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving salbutamol (a medicine that opens lung passages) to newborns with transient tachypnea (temporary fast breathing) helps them breathe easier. It could reduce time on breathing support and speed recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at more than 35 weeks of pregnancy.
- Within the first 6 hours after birth, your baby showed signs of fast breathing, chest pulling in, grunting, or nostril flaring.
- Your baby does not have certain other conditions like meconium aspiration, lung or heart defects, pneumonia, or pulmonary hypertension.

This study tests if salbutamol (a medication that opens airways) helps adults with breathing failure caused by pneumonia, especially while receiving oxygen through a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). Salbutamol is given as a mist you breathe in.
This study compares two treatments for bronchiolitis in infants: a saltwater solution (3% hypertonic saline) and a common breathing medicine (salbutamol). The goal is to see which one helps babies breathe easier.
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.
This trial tests whether giving babies an “isotonic saline” (salt-water mist, like a very mild saline solution) can help children with bronchiolitis symptoms. It may help by safely loosening mucus and improving breathing, compared with standard care.
This trial tests two ways to help newborns who are not breathing well right after birth. One method gives a sustained breath followed by chest compressions, and the other uses a 3:1 ratio of breaths to compressions. The goal is to find out which works best to get babies breathing on their own.
This trial tests a new treatment to help very premature babies (born at 22 to nearly 29 weeks) who still need a breathing machine and extra oxygen at 1–2 weeks old. The goal is to see if it can improve their lung health and reduce the need for breathing support.
