Oxygen during breathing tube placement in children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 0 and 6 years old.
- Your child must be scheduled for planned (non-emergency) surgery under general anesthesia.
- Your child must be in good enough health to be classified as ASA I, II, or III (a standard measure of health before surgery).
- Your child should not be on oxygen therapy before surgery.
- Your child must not have any injuries, trauma, or anatomical differences in the ear, nose, throat, or mouth area.

This study looks at how doctors manage the airways of children (ages 1 to 4) during planned surgeries. It aims to learn about the best ways to safely place a breathing tube. If your child is healthy enough and having surgery that needs a tube, this study may help improve care for kids with similar challenges.
This trial tests if giving extra oxygen through a special laryngoscope blade can help patients maintain oxygen levels while a breathing tube is placed during general anesthesia. It may be an option for adults having surgery with general anesthesia.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during placement of a breathing tube helps young children stay safer. It is for newborns and infants up to about 1 year old who need a breathing tube for surgery or other non-emergency procedures.
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 different slow breathing rates (low flow rates) affect oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in children who are under general anesthesia and not breathing on their own. It may help doctors choose the best settings for safe surgery.
This study tests whether different positions during the removal of the breathing tube (extubation) can help prevent low oxygen levels in children after ENT surgery. It may help your child recover more safely.
