Description
Cho and co-authors describe a planned study of a gentler breathing support for premature babies. Their 2026 BMJ Open protocol covers NIV-NAVA, a non-invasive support that reads the baby's own breathing signals to time each breath. The study will recruit two hundred thirty preterm infants born between about twenty-seven and thirty-two weeks of pregnancy.
Babies needing breathing help in their first two days will start the new support instead of a breathing tube where possible. Researchers will track support failure, breathing tube time, lung damage, and other newborn complications. Child development will also be followed for up to three years. The authors hope to learn whether the method is practical as a first-line support and safe for fragile infants.
