• How Different Levels of CPAP Deliver Oxygen to Preterm Babies

  This study tests how much oxygen actually reaches preterm infants when they receive nasal CPAP at different air pressures.

  Recruiting University of Arkansas · Little Rock, Arkansas and 1 other locations · NCT07674953

• Surfactant delivery methods in preterm infants with RDS in Sweden

  This study tests different ways of giving surfactant to preterm babies with respiratory distress to see which method works best when care is routine.

  Recruiting Vastra Gotaland Region · Gothenburg · NCT07550218

• Video-guided vs direct laryngoscopy for less invasive surfactant delivery in extremely preterm infants

  This trial tests whether using video laryngoscopy helps give surfactant on the first try more often than direct laryngoscopy in extremely preterm babies needing surfactant.

  Recruiting University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center · Dallas, Texas · NCT07426016

• Lung volume changes with synchronized noninvasive ventilator support in preterm infants

  This study will use a noninvasive imaging belt to see if synchronized ventilator inflations produce larger lung volumes than unsynchronized or backup inflations in very preterm infants on sNIPPV.

  Recruiting University of Zurich · Zurich, Canton of Zurich · NCT07237139

• Comparing two ways to wean preterm babies from high-frequency oscillatory ventilation

  This trial tests two different methods to stop high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome to see which leads to fewer complications.

  Recruiting Mansoura University Children Hospital · Al Mansurah · NCT07202299

• SalSA vs LISA: Surfactant Delivery in Preterm Infants

  This study tests whether giving surfactant through SALSA (a supraglottic airway) is safer and more effective than the LISA thin-catheter method in babies born at 29-36 weeks who need help breathing.

  Recruiting University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center · Dallas, Texas · NCT07030270

• Comparing video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy for surfactant administration in newborns

  This study is testing whether using video laryngoscopy makes it easier to insert a breathing tube for surfactant treatment in newborns with breathing problems compared to the standard method.

  Recruiting at 14 sites University College Dublin · Rijeka and 15 other locations · NCT06758492

• InfasurfAero™ for treating respiratory distress in preterm newborns

  This study is testing a new device that delivers a treatment for breathing problems in preterm newborns to see if it helps them breathe better without needing a breathing tube.
