Support for breathing in very premature newborns
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a different way to help very premature babies breathe in the first minutes after birth, which may improve their breathing and reduce lung problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born before 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Received a special breathing mask (without added moisture) within the first 10 minutes after birth
- Parent or guardian agrees to the study
- No severe birth defects that affect breathing or heart
- No known lack of lung surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether NEU-STIM can help support breathing and oxygen levels in babies born very early. If your baby is born before 32 weeks, the study may include them after you provide consent.
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 tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
This study looks back at the medical records of very tiny, premature babies (born before 32 weeks and weighing less than 1500 grams) who started breathing support like CPAP or a nasal cannula shortly after birth. The goal is to learn how well this type of breathing help works for them.
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 watches how a premature baby's diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves when receiving CPAP breathing support. CPAP is a common gentle air pressure treatment that helps newborns breathe better. Understanding this movement may help doctors improve breathing support for very premature babies.
