Anesthesia safety during airway scopes in children with tracheostomy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at problems that may happen during anesthesia (medicine to put you to sleep) when children with a tracheostomy have a routine scope to check their airway. It aims to make these procedures safer for kids like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 18 years old.
- You have a tracheostomy (a tube placed in your neck to help you breathe).
- You are scheduled for a planned airway endoscopy (a scope to look inside your windpipe) with anesthesia.
- This is not an emergency procedure.

This study looks at children with tracheostomies to see if symptoms you or your doctor notice can predict airway problems found during a routine scope. Participation involves no extra procedures—just answering questions and giving permission to use information from that routine scope.
This trial studies care during placing a breathing tube (tracheal intubation) in children having general anesthesia. It may help improve safety and outcomes around the breathing tube process.
This study tests how doctors get emergency access to a child's neck. It may help doctors find the best method for fragile kids.
This study looks at ways to predict if putting a breathing tube in a child's windpipe during planned surgery will be difficult. It aims to help doctors prepare better and keep children safe.
This study uses ultrasound to look at children's airways before planned surgery under general anesthesia. It aims to help doctors better predict the right size of breathing tube, which could reduce complications.
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.
