Breathing pause detection for premature babies on breathing support
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new automated system to detect pauses in breathing (apnoea) in premature babies who are on breathing support. It aims to help doctors respond faster and improve care for these babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby is currently 36 weeks or younger (corrected age)
- Your baby is on breathing support like CPAP, NIPPV, or high-flow nasal cannula
- Your baby does not have major birth defects
- You and your family can understand English

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses monitoring to predict when premature infants might stop breathing (apnea) and have a slow heart rate (bradycardia). If your baby was born very early and has had these episodes recently, this study may help doctors anticipate them.
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.
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
This study tests a new way to reduce the number of times a preemie baby stops breathing (apnea). It's for babies born early who have apnea but are not on a breathing machine.
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.
