Local Version of the Multi-center PREVENT Study Evaluating Cardio-respiratory Instability in Premature Infants (NCT03655639)
Evaluating Cardiorespiratory Development in Premature Babies
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Infants who are born prematurely have immature nervous and cardiorespiratory systems. These are systems infants use to breathe, to move oxygen throughout their bodies, and to maintain safe and stable levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The goal of this study is to better understand how these immature systems affect long term development, such as brain, heart, and motor function (movement) with several innovative, integrated physiological measures. We hope this will allow us to begin to find better ways to help premature infants breathe and to optimize their development.
