Preventing low oxygen in children during anesthesia with HFNC
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special oxygen device (HFNC) can prevent low oxygen levels in children during anesthesia. It is for children aged 2-10 who are generally healthy and having surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 2 and 10 years old.
- Your child should be in good general health, with healthy lungs and heart.
- Your child must not have a cold or other upper respiratory infection in the past 2 weeks.
- Your child should not have any nasal blockage, a broken nose, or a skull base fracture.
- Your child must be able to stay calm and follow instructions from the anesthesiologist.

This trial tests if using high-flow oxygen through the nose before surgery helps patients who need emergency surgery and have a full stomach. It may make oxygen levels safer during the start of anesthesia.
This study tests whether high-flow oxygen delivered through the nose helps children breathe better during a sedated procedure to look inside their lungs. Researchers want to see if this oxygen method prevents low blood oxygen levels during the procedure.
This study looks at how high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (a special way to give extra oxygen through a tube in the nose) is used in children's hospital wards. It aims to help doctors and nurses understand how to use this treatment better.
This trial compares two ways of giving oxygen during a procedure where you are awake but have a tube placed in your windpipe. It may help patients with airways that are hard to open safely.
This study tests a step-by-step plan to safely reduce and stop high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in adults who are stable enough to start weaning. It may help you breathe on your own sooner.
This trial tests whether a device that measures skin blood flow can help monitor children safely during low-flow anesthesia. It is for children aged 2–12 having non-emergency surgery lasting 1–6 hours.
