CPAP and oxygen delivery in preterm infants
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how different levels of CPAP (a breathing machine that helps keep the lungs open) affect oxygen delivery and lung expansion in preterm babies. It may help doctors understand the best settings for infants who need breathing support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born before 35 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby must be stable while using CPAP breathing support
- Your baby must be getting between 22% and 40% oxygen at the time of the study
- Your baby should not need more than 40% oxygen or be on a breathing machine (ventilator)
- Your baby should not have any major heart or lung birth defects

This trial tests a new way to deliver breathing support to premature infants using high-flow nasal cannula, aiming to keep their airways open with less pressure than CPAP. It may help babies who are already stable on CPAP but need oxygen.
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 looks at whether a careful CPAP breathing support plan helps very premature babies breathe better. It may be an option for babies who are stable on low oxygen settings and have few breathing pauses.
This trial tests a special breathing support called bubble CPAP, given right after birth in the delivery room, to help preterm babies (born before 34 weeks) who are having trouble breathing. It aims to see if starting this treatment early can improve their breathing and health.
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 compares two breathing support methods — high-flow nasal cannula and CPAP — for very premature babies born between 28 and 31 weeks. It aims to find which approach helps them breathe best when they need help right after birth.
