This study is looking at a new way to measure lung function in infants, especially those born prematurely with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung condition. It uses a non-invasive device called forced oscillometry (FOT) to measure how well their lungs are working. This device gently sends small air pulses into the lungs through a mask while the baby breathes normally. Researchers want to see if FOT can accurately measure lung function before and after babies receive bronchodilator therapy, a common treatment for BPD. You might be able to join if your baby is premature with BPD and breathing room air or low oxygen, or if your baby is a full-term infant without lung disease and less than 4 weeks old. The study aims to enroll 80 infants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

This is an observational study, meaning researchers will be watching and measuring without giving new treatments. It plans to include 80 infants.

What's involved

Your baby will have a cushioned mask placed on their face to measure lung function while they are lying down and breathing regularly. This measurement will be taken before and, for some, after bronchodilator therapy.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Measurements are taken at specific times: prior to bronchodilator therapy, and 30 to 60 minutes following bronchodilator therapy for those already receiving it.
