NCT ID NCT05196646

First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study explores whether a new, non-invasive acoustic sensor can reliably detect breathing sounds and problems in premature infants. Researchers will monitor 50 preterm babies in the NICU, comparing the sensor's readings to standard airflow measurements. The goal is to see if this simple, sound-based method can improve how doctors track and manage breathing issues in these vulnerable newborns.
