Ventilation methods in children during anesthesia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how children are ventilated (helped to breathe) during surgery. It will help doctors understand current practices and improve care for young patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 16 years old or younger.
- Your child is having general anesthesia (medication to make them sleep for surgery).
- Your child's breathing will be supported with a breathing tube or a mask (LMA).
- Your child will be connected to a breathing machine for at least 15 minutes.
- Your child is not having surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (extracorporeal circulation).

This study looks at how children breathe while on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help doctors adjust the machine better. It may help improve comfort and weaning off the ventilator.
This trial compares two different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic hernia repair surgery in young children. It may be a good fit if your child is between 1 and 5 years old, generally healthy, and scheduled for this specific surgery.
This study tests a special breathing technique during heart surgery in children with congenital heart disease. The technique may help the heart pump blood better and make the lungs more flexible during and after surgery.
This study tests a breathing technique used during surgery to help keep children's lungs open. It may help reduce lung issues after surgery and improve recovery.
