How Different Levels of CPAP Affect Oxygen Delivery and Lung Expansion in Preterm Infants

Oxygen Delivery in CPAP and Its Relationship With Regional Lung Ventilation in Preterm Infants

Sponsor

University of Arkansas

Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

Apr 15, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (Neonatal)Respiratory Distress of Newborn

Summary

With this study, it is expected to learn more about preterm babies on breathing support with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). To gain more information on how much oxygen is actually delivered to the baby from the nCPAP machine.

Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Interventions

DEVICEEffective oxygen delivery and lung expansion measurement

This intervention arm will involve any infant who is already on nCPAP. It will involve placing a catheter in the infant's oropharynx and wrapping soft EIT bands around the infants chest to measure effective oxygen delivery and lung expansion, respectively.
