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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new way to give breathing support (called high flow therapy) to premature babies who are currently using CPAP. The researchers want to see if adjusting the flow based on the baby's pressure can help them breathe more easily and maybe reduce time on breathing support.
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 study looks at whether automatically adjusting oxygen levels for premature babies, compared with manual control, affects lung health when they reach early childhood. It involves simple breathing tests to see how their lungs are working.
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.
