Ventilation support for babies with severe bronchiolitis
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special type of breathing support (called NIV-NAVA) in babies with severe bronchiolitis, a lung infection that makes breathing hard. The goal is to see if this support helps babies breathe better and avoid needing a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is under 2 years old
- Your baby is in the intensive care unit (PICU) or being looked after by that team
- Your baby has been diagnosed with bronchiolitis (a common lung infection in babies that causes wheezing and trouble breathing)
- Your baby needs breathing help that is stronger than a simple nasal tube or CPAP mask, and this need started less than 8 hours ago
- Your baby is not about to be placed on a breathing tube (intubation) and does not have other serious conditions like needing blood pressure medicines or chronic home ventilation

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a breathing-support method (called DIVA) to help premature babies breathe safely when the breathing tube is taken out. It may help more babies transition off the ventilator and avoid breathing problems during extubation.
This trial tests a new non-invasive breathing support that adjusts to each baby's own breathing pattern. It aims to help very premature infants breathe more comfortably and avoid more invasive ventilation.
This study is testing a way to reduce the chance of a certain breathing problem (called NAV) in babies who need a breathing machine in the NICU. If your baby has been on the machine for two days or more, they may be able to join.
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 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 checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
