Airway device study for preterm babies needing breathing help
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a supraglottic airway device (a tube that sits above the voice box) versus a face mask for helping premature babies breathe right after birth. It may help doctors choose the best way to support your baby's first breaths.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born between 29 and 34 weeks of pregnancy
- Weigh at least 1000 grams (about 2.2 pounds) at birth
- Doctors decide the baby needs breathing support right after delivery
- No major birth defects or genetic conditions
- Parents give permission for the baby to be in the study

This study tests whether a special breathing tube placed above the voice box (called a supraglottic airway) works better than the usual mask or tube to help newborns who need breathing support right after birth. It is for babies born at or after 34 weeks of pregnancy.
This study compares two ways to help extremely premature babies breathe right after birth: using a manual T-piece or a ventilator. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective.
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 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.
This trial tests if giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open) through a special airway device can help late preterm and early term infants with breathing problems. The goal is to see if this approach works better than current methods without needing a breathing tube.
This study tests a modified supraglottic airway device (a type of breathing aid placed above the vocal cords) during surgeries done under general anesthesia. It may help researchers see if a better-shaped device works more safely during planned surgeries that use muscle relaxation.
