NCT ID NCT06535074

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study monitors lung function continuously in 35 preterm infants to classify the causes of their oxygen drops into four types: breathing pauses, lung volume loss, both, or unknown. By better understanding these mechanisms, researchers hope to guide future treatments to reduce these episodes.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors better understand why preterm infants have oxygen drops and develop targeted treatments to prevent them.
