Comparing two breathing aids for premature babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby must need extra help breathing within 6 hours after birth.

This study compares two types of breathing support (CPAP and NIPPV) for preterm babies with breathing problems. It aims to find which method works better for helping babies breathe easier.
This study compares two types of non-invasive breathing support for premature babies who are having trouble breathing due to underdeveloped lungs. The goal is to see which method works better and helps babies breathe comfortably without needing a breathing tube.
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.
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.
