Breath of fresh air: study tests best flow for tiny lungs
NCT ID NCT06622902
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for preterm infants who need breathing help. It tests whether a low or high air flow rate changes carbon dioxide levels in their blood. 45 babies will be monitored for three hours at each flow setting. The goal is to find the safest and most effective flow rate for these tiny patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Gestational age 240 to 336. * At least 6 hours of stabilized HFNP settings, i.e. minor changes in settings (FiO2 ≤0.10, no change in flow). * At least 6 hours of stabilized tcCO2, i.e. ≤5 mmHg variation. * At least 6 hours from surfactant administration. * Parental consent Exclusion criteria: * If flow is \<3 and tcCO2 related pCO2 is\<40mmHg. * If Flow is ≥5 bpm and tcCO2 related pCO2 is\>60mmHg. * Unstable infants due to acute conditions (sepsis. IVH), or congenital malformations.
