Tiny sensor, tiny patients: new catheter designed for preemies under 2 pounds
NCT ID NCT05427929
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new, smaller feeding tube with built-in sensors to measure breathing signals in extremely premature babies (under 1000 grams). The current standard tube is too long for these tiny infants, so the new design shortens the sensor spacing to fit better. Ten babies already on a special ventilator called NAVA will try the new tube to see if it works as well as the standard one.
