New study aims to find safer way to help preemies breathe
NCT ID NCT07030270
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study compares two methods of giving surfactant, a medicine that helps premature babies breathe. One method uses a thin tube, the other uses a small airway device. The goal is to see which method causes fewer breathing problems and complications in infants born at 29 weeks or later.
