Surveillance of newborn breathing tube colonization
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at newborn babies who need a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) to help them breathe. It aims to understand how germs (colonization) grow on the tube, which could help improve care for babies in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn (at least 22 weeks of pregnancy) and is expected to need a breathing tube for more than 12 hours.
- You (the parent or carer) must be able to give permission for your baby to join the study.
- Your baby must be expected to survive, as determined by the doctors.

This study looks at newborns on breathing machines to find signs that predict whether they can safely come off the machine. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about when to remove the breathing tube.
This study tests a different way to secure the breathing tube in preterm babies on a ventilator. It may help reduce skin problems or unplanned tube removal in the NICU.
This study looks at whether a new, faster test can better find germs in the lungs of children who need a breathing tube. It may help doctors choose the right medicine sooner.
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
This study looks at the natural bacteria and germs in a premature baby's airways to see if they can help predict whether the baby will develop a lung problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal is to find early clues that help doctors take better care of these babies.
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.
