Tiny lungs, big question: which breathing machine is gentler?

NCT ID NCT04821453

Summary

This small, terminated pilot study aimed to find a better way to manage breathing machines for premature infants with severe, long-term lung damage (BPD). It directly compared two machine settings—a standard method and a newer, brain-signal-guided method (NAVA)—to see which improved oxygen levels and caused less stress in up to 20 babies. The goal was to gather initial evidence to guide care for these fragile infants.
