Softer breathing aid could spare preemies from harsh ventilators
NCT ID NCT07098910
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways of giving a lung-opening medicine (surfactant) to premature babies with breathing problems. The newer method uses a soft mask placed in the throat instead of a breathing tube down the windpipe. Researchers want to see if the gentler method works just as well to keep babies off ventilators. The study includes 440 preterm babies born before 34 weeks and weighing at least 750 grams.
