First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at whether feeding preterm babies (weighing less than 3.3 pounds) through a tube placed past the stomach can prevent small amounts of stomach fluid from getting into their lungs. The goal is to reduce lung inflammation. About 46 babies on breathing machines will take part, and researchers will measure lung fluid markers to compare this feeding method with standard stomach feeding.
