First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a special breathing tube called a supraglottic airway can be used to help premature babies breathe right after birth. The study will include 20 premature infants born between 29 and 33 weeks who need breathing support. The goal is to see if this device is a practical and effective first option for helping these babies get enough air.
