Face Mask Shapes for Newborn Breathing Support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two different face mask shapes used to help newborns breathe before a breathing tube is placed. Researchers want to see which mask shape works better and is easier for doctors to use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is in the neonatal unit (newborn intensive care)
- Your baby needs a breathing tube placed
- Your baby needs mask ventilation (breathing help with a mask) before the tube is inserted
- Your baby does not have a facial birth defect that would prevent a tight mask seal
- Baby can be born early (preterm) or on time (term)

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 whether custom 3D-printed nasal masks work better for premature babies who need non-invasive breathing support. The masks are made to fit each baby's face, which might be more comfortable and effective.
This study looks at whether different types of breathing masks (non-invasive ventilation interfaces) can help prevent sores or injuries on a premature baby's nose. It may help find gentler ways to support breathing while protecting delicate skin.
This trial tests whether different face masks worn by healthcare workers during newborn resuscitation affect how well germs are blocked. It may help choose the best mask for protecting babies.
This study compares two gentle ways of helping premature babies breathe (using a mask or small tubes in the nose) to see which works better for babies with breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to support babies born early who need help taking their first breaths.
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.
