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 improve monitoring and care for these babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born before 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Currently between 32 and 36 weeks of adjusted age (age since birth plus time in womb)
- On breathing support like CPAP, NIPPV, or high-flow nasal cannula
- No major birth defects
- Parents or guardians speak English

This study is testing a new tool that may help predict when babies born very early might have breathing pauses or slow heart rates. By using this tool, doctors hope to better monitor and care for your baby.
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 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 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 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.
