Comparing breathing support methods in children having hernia surgery
This trial compares two different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic hernia repair surgery in young children. It may be a good fit if your child is between 1 and 5 years old, generally healthy, and scheduled for this specific surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 5 years old.
- They must be scheduled for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery.
- They should be generally healthy (or have only a mild health condition).
- They cannot have any heart or lung disease, severe liver or kidney problems, or a history of a recent respiratory infection (within 2 weeks).
- They must not be overweight (more than 20% above the standard weight for their age).
- They cannot have a neuromuscular disease, a difficult airway, hiatal hernia, or gastroesophageal reflux disease.

This trial compares two different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic hernia surgery to see which one helps maintain better oxygen levels. It may help reduce lung complications and improve recovery after surgery.
This study compares two ways of ventilating (helping breathe) children during surgery to see which one keeps lungs healthier. It uses special monitoring to guide the settings.
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula vs. non-invasive ventilation) in children who have recently had heart surgery and are at high risk of having trouble breathing after their breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method works better to help them breathe on their own.
This study looks at how children are ventilated (helped to breathe) during surgery. It will help doctors understand current practices and improve care for young patients.
