New technique to assess tiny lungs in preterm infants
NCT ID NCT04270045
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to measure lung function in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) using a technique called forced oscillometry. Researchers will compare these measurements with those from healthy full-term infants. The goal is to better understand lung mechanics in BPD, not to provide a treatment. About 80 infants will participate.
