What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether special imaging tests can help predict a serious lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature babies. Researchers will use electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and lung ultrasound to check how air moves in the lungs of 104 preterm infants. The goal is to find early signs of lung trouble so doctors can adjust breathing support sooner.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

For this study we will enrol 104 preterm infants born between 26 and 32 weeks of gestational age and/or with a birth weight \< 1500g (very low birth weight infants - VLBW) with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The patients are considered eligible to be enrolled in the study if they are assisted in non-invasive ventilation (nasal continuous positive airway pressure -nCPAP- or high flow nasal -HFNC-) at 72h of life.

Inclusion Criteria: preterm infants born between 26 and 32 weeks of gestational age and/or with a birth weight \< 1500g (very low birth weight infants - VLBW) with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). \- Exclusion Criteria: - outborn infants * complex congenital malformations * metabolic, chromosomal, or other genetic abnormalities * pulmonary hypoplasia, congenital anomalies of surfactant proteins or other pulmonary abnormalities * any skin anomalies * need for mechanical ventilation \> 72h after birth * any life-threatening comorbidity or any other medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the patient unsuitable for inclusion. * lack of parent consent.
