Oxygen showdown: which level saves preterm Babies' lungs?
NCT ID NCT07315594
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at the best amount of oxygen to give babies born between 32 and 35 weeks right after birth. Researchers will compare giving 60% oxygen versus 30% oxygen to over 1,500 babies in Alberta hospitals. The goal is to see which level helps babies breathe better and need less breathing support after the first hour.
