CPAP breathing support for very premature babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a careful CPAP breathing support plan helps very premature babies breathe better. It may be an option for babies who are stable on low oxygen settings and have few breathing pauses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were born very early, before 29 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your current age (since your mom's last period) is 32 weeks or less.
- You are on CPAP breathing support with low oxygen (less than 25%) and a pressure setting of 4 to 5.
- If you had a breathing tube before, it was removed at least 3 days ago.
- You have had very few or no breathing pauses or slow heart rates in the last 6 hours, and no episodes needing extra help in the last 24 hours.

This study asks parents of premature babies about their experience with two types of breathing support, including a newer device called OptiPAP Junior. Your answers will help doctors understand how parents feel about these treatments.
This study tests a new way to give breathing support (called high flow therapy) to premature babies who are currently using CPAP. The researchers want to see if adjusting the flow based on the baby's pressure can help them breathe more easily and maybe reduce time on breathing support.
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 watches how a premature baby's diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves when receiving CPAP breathing support. CPAP is a common gentle air pressure treatment that helps newborns breathe better. Understanding this movement may help doctors improve breathing support for very premature babies.
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 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.
