Apnea of prematurity
MONDO:0020567Apnea of prematurity is a developmental disorder affecting premature infants, likely secondary to an immaturity of respiratory control resulting in idiopathic pauses in breathing often associated with reduced heart rate and arterial blood oxygen levels. It may be exacerbated by concurrent neonatal diseases.

Caffeine boost for preterm infants: faster feeding?
Symptom relief OngoingThis study tests whether giving caffeine to preterm infants for a longer period helps them learn to feed by mouth sooner. About 80 babies born at 32 weeks or earlier will be enrolled. Researchers will compare time to full oral feeding and hospital discharge between those who cont…

Could wireless sensors replace wires in the NICU?
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study is testing whether wireless, wearable sensors can safely and accurately monitor heart rate, breathing, temperature, and oxygen levels in 75 newborn babies in the NICU. The goal is to see if these wireless devices work as well as the standard wired monitors, and if they…

New sound sensor could help preterm babies breathe easier
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study is testing a new, non-invasive device that listens to the breathing sounds of preterm babies to detect breathing pauses and heart rate changes. Researchers will enroll 50 preterm infants born before 32 weeks to see if the acoustic sensor can reliably monitor breathing …

New breath test could replace painful lung scopes
Knowledge-focused ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study aims to see if a simple, non-invasive breathing test can accurately measure the acidity (pH) in the airways, which is often abnormal in lung diseases. Researchers will compare results from this breath test with standard methods in 150 healthy volunteers and people with…
