Study Summary
This trial is studying how body position affects a baby's breathing, oxygen, carbon dioxide, lung volume, and more.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for premature infants born at or before 32 weeks of gestation who are stable on non-invasive NAVA ventilation for over 24 hours. It's not suitable for babies with conditions like persistent pulmonary hypertension, contraindications to NAVA, esophageal issues, or congenital heart disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines the effects of prone (lying face down) versus supine (lying on the back) body positions in premature infants using non-invasive NAVA. Researchers will assess breathing effort, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, lung volume and compliance, and frequency of events like apnea.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves body positioning rather than medication, there aren't typical drug side effects. However, changes in position could potentially affect an infant's breathing patterns or stability.
