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 giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose (high-flow nasal cannula) during a sedated bronchoscopy can prevent low oxygen levels (hypoxemia) in young children. It may help keep your child safer during the procedure and improve recovery.
This study looks at how a special oxygen therapy, called high-flow nasal oxygen therapy, is used in children's hospital wards. By tracking how it's used, researchers hope to improve care for other children who need breathing support.
This study looks at how well a special oxygen-delivery device (high-flow nasal cannula) works for children having a scope test of their airway. It aims to find the best oxygen flow rate to keep children safe and breathing well during the procedure.
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 trial tests a step-by-step plan to safely reduce oxygen support in adults who have been using a high-flow nasal cannula for breathing problems. The goal is to find the best way to wean patients off oxygen when they are stable, which might help them recover faster.
