Summary

This study looks at 30 preterm and term infants in the NICU who need a breathing tube. Researchers will compare a new FDA-approved suction device (EXSALTA) with the standard wall suction to see which causes less stress on the baby's heart rate and oxygen levels. The goal is to find a gentler way to clear the breathing tube.
