Premature baby breathing study completed: what works best?
NCT ID NCT05987800
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 136 premature babies who needed breathing help. Researchers tracked how long they needed support and checked for lung problems. The goal was to learn more about different non-invasive breathing methods, not to test a new treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Preterm infants (\< 37 weeks GA) supported with non-invasive respiratory support for at least 24 hours. Non-invasive respiratory support can consist of non-invasive NAVA, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) or high flow nasal canula (flow \> 2 liters/min).The support can be given as primary respiratory support or as respiratory support after weaning from invasive ventilation (= after extubation). * Infants can only be enrolled after written and signed informed consent by the parents. Exclusion Criteria: * Infant born after a gestational age of 37 weeks or more. * Infants with major congenital malformations or chromosomal abnormalities (eg trisomy 18, congenital diaphragmatic hernia…)
