First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving early breathing support (CPAP) to late preterm babies (34-37 weeks) born by C-section can reduce the need for intensive care. About 120 newborns will be randomly assigned to receive CPAP right after birth or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple step helps them breathe better and stay with their parents instead of going to the NICU.
