Smart oxygen device may protect tiny lungs in preterm babies
NCT ID NCT06622161
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an automated oxygen control device (Oxygenie) could keep preterm babies' oxygen levels in a safer range better than manual adjustments by nurses. 26 preterm babies on ventilators were randomly assigned to 12 hours of automated or manual oxygen control, then switched. The main goal was to see how much time their oxygen levels stayed within the target range of 90-94%.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Oxygenie automated oxygen control device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help preterm babies avoid dangerous oxygen swings, reducing risks of eye and lung problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed crossover study with only 26 babies, so results may not apply to all preterm infants. The device may not work as well in real-world settings.
