Lung breathing maneuver for kids during surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special breathing maneuver (ultrasound-guided lung recruitment) during surgery to see if it helps prevent small areas of lung collapse in children. It may help kids with longer surgeries keep their lungs open and working better afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 14 years old.
- Your child must be in good or moderate overall health (ASA score 1, 2, or 3).
- The surgery must take at least 2 hours.
- Your child must not have chronic lung disease (like asthma requiring medication or hospital visit in the last year), cystic fibrosis, or other serious lung conditions.
- Your child must not have certain heart or chest problems (like congenital heart disease, chest wall deformities, or a past chest surgery).
- Your child must not be having laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
