Breathing support practices in critically ill children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at how doctors manage breathing support for children in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for kids who need help breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is expected to need a breathing machine, mask, or nasal prongs for at least 12 hours.
- Your child is not a premature baby (born before 37 weeks and still under 40 weeks adjusted age).

This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
This study tests a new way of organizing care for children with severe pneumonia who need extra breathing support. It uses a special mask that pushes gentle air into the lungs, which may help them breathe easier and recover more quickly.
This study compares two types of non-invasive breathing support for premature babies who are having trouble breathing due to underdeveloped lungs. The goal is to see which method works better and helps babies breathe comfortably without needing a breathing tube.
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 study looks at how children recover after needing a breathing machine for severe breathing problems. It may help doctors understand long-term outcomes and improve care.
