Comparing two nasal tubes for breathing support in preterm babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to give breathing support to premature babies: a nasal cannula (small tube with two prongs) versus a single nasal prong. The goal is to see which method works better and is more comfortable for babies who need help breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy (preterm).
- Your baby has breathing problems and needs help breathing through a mask or small prongs in the nose.
- You (or the legal guardian) agree to sign a consent form.
- Your baby does not have any birth defects of the nose or other major organs that would make this treatment unsafe.

This study looks at whether different types of breathing masks (non-invasive ventilation interfaces) can help prevent sores or injuries on a premature baby's nose. It may help find gentler ways to support breathing while protecting delicate skin.
This trial compares two types of breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula vs. non-invasive ventilation) in children who have recently had heart surgery and are at high risk of having trouble breathing after their breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method works better to help them breathe on their own.
This study compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
This study compares two gentle ways of helping premature babies breathe (using a mask or small tubes in the nose) to see which works better for babies with breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to support babies born early who need help taking their first breaths.
This study compares two types of noninvasive breathing support (NHFOV and NIMV) used after a premature baby's breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method helps babies breathe more smoothly after extubation.
This study looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
