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 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 trial tests two ways to measure if non-invasive breathing support (a high-flow nasal cannula or a face mask) will work for patients with respiratory failure. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment sooner.
This study compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
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 is looking at ways to improve non-invasive ventilation, which is breathing support given without a breathing tube. You may be invited if you’re already receiving this kind of support and you agree to take part.
This trial tests whether adding a breathing gas called nitric oxide to standard care helps children with severe lung failure (ARDS) recover faster. It is for children on a breathing machine who still have low oxygen levels.
