Breathing Patterns in Premature Babies During Extubation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study watches how premature babies breathe before and after removal of their breathing tube. By measuring breathing patterns, doctors hope to better understand when babies are ready to breathe on their own and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at 32 weeks of pregnancy or earlier
- Your baby is currently on a breathing tube (intubated) in the hospital
- The medical team is considering whether your baby is ready to come off the breathing tube
- Your baby does not have skeletal (bone), neuromuscular (nerve/muscle), or abdominal surgical conditions that would interfere with breathing measurements

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 premature babies to see if we can predict lung injury early. It may help doctors provide better care for babies born early or with low birth weight.
This study compares two types of breathing support (CPAP and NIPPV) for preterm babies with breathing problems. It aims to find which method works better for helping babies breathe easier.
This study is testing whether using ultrasound pictures of the lungs (called lung ultrasound) can help doctors choose the best breathing support for premature babies. It will involve babies who are already on NCPAP, a common breathing machine, and may help improve their treatment.
This study looks at the best time to remove the breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures the baby's breathing effort to guide the decision, which may help them transition to breathing without support.
This study looks at how stable extremely premature, very low-weight babies are after their breathing tube is removed for the first time. It aims to understand what helps these tiny infants breathe well on their own.
