New method may help tiny babies breathe without a breathing tube
Disease control CompletedThis 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)…

Tiny lungs, big comparison: which breathing support works best?
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at how extremely low birth weight babies (born before 29 weeks) responded to two types of breathing support: high-flow nasal cannula and nasal CPAP. Researchers measured lung function using a special imaging technique. The goal was to understand the differences,…
