Ventilation method for newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a specific type of breathing machine (ventilator) that adjusts air pressure to help newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension breathe better. It aims to see if this method improves oxygen levels and outcomes for babies needing mechanical ventilation in their first week of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn (at least 34 weeks at birth).
- Your baby has been diagnosed with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, confirmed by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound).
- Your baby needs a breathing tube and ventilator (mechanical ventilation) within the first week of life.
- Your baby does not have major congenital heart disease (other than common openings like PDA or PFO).
- Your baby does not have severe birth defects such as a diaphragmatic hernia or chromosomal abnormalities.
- Your baby has not already been on a special high-frequency ventilator before joining this study.

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 tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
This trial is testing a different way of giving breaths on a breathing machine to very premature babies. It aims to see which speed of lung inflation is gentler and helps babies' lungs work better. If your baby is on a special breathing machine that responds to their own breathing, this trial may help improve their breathing support.
This study compares two types of ventilator support for newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The goal is to see which breathing approach works better and is safer when started very early after birth.
This study tests a new way to give breathing support (called high flow therapy) to premature babies who are currently using CPAP. The researchers want to see if adjusting the flow based on the baby's pressure can help them breathe more easily and maybe reduce time on breathing support.
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.
