U.S., Nov. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07251790) titled 'Optimising Breathing Support at Extubation in Very Preterm Infants: A Clinical Study' on Sept. 29.
Brief Summary: Many babies born very preterm (<32 weeks of pregnancy) require support to breathe from a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) via a breathing tube. Although this keeps babies alive, it can damage their lungs. To reduce this damage, doctors and nurses try to change babies to gentler breathing support that does not require a breathing tube. This is usually done using a method called nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) that uses a nosepiece to deliver breaths. This process of removing the breathing tube i...
