Summary

This study tests whether caffeine can improve breathing in newborns who have meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) and still need oxygen after 10–14 days. Twenty babies will receive either caffeine or a placebo. Researchers will measure oxygen levels and use lung ultrasound to see if caffeine helps open the lungs and reduce breathing support.
