Tiny sensor, tiny patients: new catheter designed for preemies under 2 pounds

NCT ID NCT05427929

First seen Apr 10, 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.
