New study aims to predict when tiny lungs are ready to breathe on their own

NCT ID NCT07542301

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how hard premature babies (born at 32 weeks or earlier) have to work to breathe while on a breathing tube and right after it is removed. Researchers want to see if measuring breathing effort can better predict when a baby is ready to breathe without the tube, compared to current tests. About 30 babies in the NICU will take part, and the goal is to improve care for these fragile infants.
