Breathing support after extubation in babies after heart surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of helping babies breathe after their breathing tube is removed following heart surgery. It may help find which support method works better and is safer for the smallest patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the cardiac intensive care unit after heart surgery for congenital heart disease
- Baby is 1 year old or younger and/or weighs 10 kg or less
- You were able to have the breathing tube removed and you are not staying on it for 4 weeks or more
- Baby does not have a tracheostomy placed before the heart surgery
- Baby is not on ECMO support before the heart surgery
- Baby is not in another research study and does not have very serious extra birth defects

This study tests a personalized breathing technique to improve lung function and heart performance in children who have had heart surgery or are on ECMO. The goal is to find the best way to open up the lungs safely.
This trial compares two types of breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula vs. non-invasive ventilation) in children who have recently had heart surgery and are at high risk of having trouble breathing after their breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method works better to help them breathe on their own.
This study compares different ways of helping patients breathe after surgery while they're being moved to the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the safest and most effective method for patients who need a breathing tube.
This trial tests whether giving noninvasive breathing support (using a mask or similar device, without a new breathing tube) right after removing a breathing tube works better for severely obese adults. It mainly looks at people at higher risk of needing help breathing again after extubation.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
This study compares two breathing supports used after a breathing tube is removed in the ICU: a noninvasive ventilator (mask-based) versus high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which one works better when patients develop breathing trouble soon after extubation.
