Testing laryngeal ultrasound in children (ECHO LARYNX)
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a special ultrasound of the voice box (larynx) can be used safely and easily in children. It aims to see if this non-invasive tool can help doctors check the throat without using more uncomfortable methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses ultrasound to see the airway in children before surgery. It aims to predict if the child's airway will be easy or difficult to intubate (placing a breathing tube).
This study uses ultrasound to check how well a laryngeal mask airway (a breathing tube placed in the throat) is positioned in children during surgery. The goal is to see if the ultrasound findings relate to any breathing problems after surgery.
This study tests whether chest ultrasound can help doctors better understand and treat respiratory tract infections in children and young adults up to age 20. If you or your child is diagnosed with a respiratory infection in the emergency department, this trial may show how ultrasound can guide care.
This study tests whether a noninvasive breathing support device can detect vocal cord movement problems in children who had heart or airway surgery. It may avoid the need for a scope test.
This study looks at how useful ultrasound is during common throat procedures done in the doctor's office. It may help with nerve blocks, injections for voice or swallow problems, or just to learn more about throat anatomy.
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure the airway just below the voice box in young children having surgery. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict breathing problems after surgery.
