Clinical Trial: Strap To Reduce Apnea in Preterm Infants: A Randomized Crossover Trial

U.S., Oct. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07895654) titled 'Strap To Reduce Apnea in Preterm Infants: A Randomized Crossover Trial' on Oct. 19.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a chin strap helps reduce low oxygen episodes in premature babies receiving CPAP or NIPPV (breathing support through the nose). The main question it aims to answer is:

Does wearing a chin strap during CPAP or NIPPV make low oxygen episodes shorter compared to not wearing one?

Researchers will compare the chin strap period to the no-chin-strap period to see if the chin strap shortens low oxygen episodes.

Participants will:

Be randomly assigned to wear the chin strap first or skip it fir...
