-
Detection of Respiratory Events in Extremely Preterm Infants Using Acoustic Monitoring
A new acoustic monitoring approach is being tested to detect breathing problems in very preterm babies to help NICU teams spot and manage apnea and related events.
-
Early Nutrition Support for Extremely Preterm Infants
This initiative tests a nutrition bundle—personalized breast milk feeding, early zinc supplementation, and routine carnitine supplementation—for very preterm babies to see if it improves growth and development.
-
Using bubble CPAP sounds to measure airway pressure in premature infants
This project will try to see if the sounds made by bubble CPAP can tell us how much airway pressure very premature infants (born before 32 weeks) are actually receiving.
-
Early lung development in preterm babies with and without fetal growth restriction
This study will test whether ultrasound measurements of fetal lung volume, diaphragm thickness and heart function before 32 weeks can help predict breathing problems and later lung function in preterm babies with or without fetal growth restriction.
-
Impact of a non-invasive ventilation method on very preterm infants
This study is testing a new breathing support method for very preterm infants to see if it helps them do better in the short and long term.
-
Positive feeding for preterm babies
This study will try a cue-based, parent-led feeding approach for preterm infants in the NICU to see if it can be put into practice and is acceptable to parents and staff.
-
Comparing air temperature control and skin control for preterm infants in incubators
This study is testing whether keeping preterm babies warm with air temperature control or skin control in incubators helps them grow better and stay healthier during their first ten days of life.
-
Comparing gut microbiota in preterm and full-term infants
This study looks at the differences in gut bacteria between preterm and full-term babies from birth to three months to see how things like antibiotic use affect their gut health.
-
Examining how preterm and term infants respond to new stimuli
This study looks at how preterm and full-term babies react to new sounds and lights to see if understanding their responses can help improve care for very preterm infants at risk of brain problems.
