RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME

This study looked at 100 preterm babies with breathing problems who did not get better with standard treatment. Doctors compared two different breathing machines to see which one improved oxygen levels better and caused fewer side effects like infections or lung damage. The goal …

This study tested a gentler way to give lung medicine (surfactant) to extremely premature babies (22-25 weeks) right in the delivery room. The goal was to see if it could lower the number of babies needing a breathing tube in the first 72 hours. Sixty babies took part, with half …

This study looked at 180 premature babies born between 24 and 30 weeks to see if giving lung medicine (surfactant) through a thin tube instead of a breathing tube reduces the need for a breathing machine. Babies received either the new method plus caffeine or standard care (CPAP)…

This study looked at 85 premature babies born at 24 to 29 weeks who had respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Researchers compared two types of non-invasive breathing support—nasal CPAP and nasal IPPV—to see which one works better when giving surfactant (a lung treatment). The goa…

This study looked at whether a special ultrasound test, called fetal lung elastography, can predict if a preterm baby will develop breathing problems after birth. Researchers measured lung stiffness in 80 unborn babies whose mothers were in preterm labor. They then compared these…

This study tested whether adding functional electrical stimulation (FES) to stationary cycling helps people who survived severe COVID-19 regain physical function faster. Twenty-two adults who had been on ventilators in the ICU took part. Researchers measured how much time patient…

This study looked at two different chest therapy methods—Vojta reflex and lung squeezing—in 90 premature babies (28-36 weeks) with respiratory distress syndrome. The goal was to see which technique better improves oxygen levels and breathing rate. Babies received one of the two t…

This study looked at 21 preterm infants to see if a skin sensor could measure pain during a procedure called LISA, which helps babies breathe. The sensor was compared to a standard pain scale used by nurses. The goal is to better understand which babies need pain medicine, so tre…

This study looked at 60 preterm newborns in the NICU to see how different chest physiotherapy positions affect their breathing and vital signs. The goal was to find which method works best for babies with lung problems like respiratory distress or collapsed lungs. Researchers mea…

This study tested whether a simple, low-cost video call system could help doctors remotely assess children with breathing distress while they were being transported by ambulance. Twenty children with respiratory illness were included. The goal was to see if the video assessment m…

This study looked at 48 ICU patients on breathing machines to understand how doctors can safely reopen collapsed parts of the lung. Researchers used a special gas analyzer to measure lung volume before and after a brief high-pressure breath. The goal was to find out which measure…
