New safety bundle aims to reduce breathing tube risks in fragile newborns
NCT ID NCT05838690
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a personalized safety bundle (PINS) designed to reduce complications when placing a breathing tube in newborns in the NICU. The bundle includes a tailored plan covering risk assessment, when to intubate, medications, equipment, and provider expertise. Researchers will track adverse events in 3,000 infants to see if the bundle improves safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Personalized Intubation Safety (PINS) Bundle
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could make emergency breathing tube placement safer for thousands of fragile newborns, reducing life-threatening complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large but early-stage quality-improvement study, not a drug trial. The bundle may not reduce complications in all NICUs, and results may not apply outside this hospital system.
