-
High-energy DHA/ARA-enriched human milk in the first 2 weeks to lower lung problems in extremely preterm babies
This trial tests whether giving DHA/ARA-enriched, fortified human milk in the first 14 days after birth helps extremely preterm infants breathe easier and have better lung function.
-
Adjusting ventilator PEEP to improve lung compliance and heart function in preterm infants
We will try changing the ventilator's PEEP settings in babies born before 34 weeks who need breathing support to see if the PEEP that gives the best lung compliance improves heart output and oxygen levels.
-
Crawling intervention for very premature infants at risk for developmental delays
This study is testing a new crawling method using a mini skateboard to see if it helps very premature infants improve their movement and brain development.
-
Comparing Dopamine and Norepinephrine for Low Blood Pressure in Very Preterm Infants with Sepsis
This study is testing whether Dopamine or Norepinephrine works better to help very preterm infants with low blood pressure caused by sepsis.
