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

This study looks at how doctors decide when to remove the breathing tube (extubation) from extremely preterm babies born before 28 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to understand what affects breathing outcomes and could help improve care for these tiny infants.
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 trial uses lung ultrasound to check if preterm babies under 33 weeks can have their breathing support adjusted safely. It may help reduce the need for a breathing tube.
This study looks at the best way to set breathing support pressures for very premature babies (born before 28 weeks) after their breathing tube is removed. Researchers want to see which pressures help babies breathe easier and avoid needing the tube again.
This study looks at the best time to remove a breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures how well the baby's diaphragm (the muscle that helps them breathe) is working.
