Timing of breathing tube removal in premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby has a special breathing tube that measures diaphragm activity (called an Edi tube).
- The medical team is planning to remove the breathing tube soon.
- Your baby is not receiving end-of-life comfort care only.
- Your baby is not getting medication that paralyzes their muscles.

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 whether doctors can predict if a newborn will need help breathing again after the breathing tube is removed. It involves babies who have been on a ventilator for at least 48 hours.
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 why some children in the pediatric ICU have trouble coming off the breathing machine (ventilator). If your child is ready to try stopping the ventilator, this trial will help doctors understand what may make that transition safer.
This study tests three measurements taken before removing your breathing tube after surgery to predict whether your lungs are ready to work on their own. The goal is to help doctors safely decide when to extubate (remove the tube) in the operating room.
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.
