Conditions: Premature, Premature Lungs, Ventilator Lung; Newborn, Rectus Abdominis
Sex: All
Ages: 22 Weeks – 31 Weeks
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 40
Sponsor: University of Minnesota

Summary
The primary outcome of this study is to determine if the use of the FDA-approved DandleLion NeoBellyBand increases the thickness of the rectus abdominis muscle in premature babies receiving continuous positive pressure ventilation, leading to infants reaching full oral feedings at an earlier corrected gestational age.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Premature viable neonates with corrected gestational age of 22-31 weeks
* Anticipated to require non-invasive continuous positive pressure ventilation including bCPAP, CPAP, and NAVA CPAP for a minimum of 2 weeks either on their first trial of CPAP or after extubation.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Outside of gestational age at birth
* Umbilical lines
* Genetic condition or neuromuscular anomaly
* Known abdominal anomaly
* Non-viable neonates and neonates with uncertain viability who are not anticipated to be able to survive with standard NICU care.
