Oxygen support during pediatric airway procedures
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a special oxygen-delivery device (high-flow nasal cannula) works for children having a scope test of their airway. It aims to find the best oxygen flow rate to keep children safe and breathing well during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for a laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (a scope exam of the throat and airway).
- Your child weighs at least 5 kilograms (about 11 pounds).
- Your child's airway procedure is not an emergency.
- Your child does not have a tracheostomy (breathing tube in the neck).
- Your child does not have a heart condition that causes blue skin (cyanotic heart disease).
- Your child does not have a nasal deformity or blocked nasal passage (choanal atresia), and the procedure does not involve cautery or laser.

This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose (high-flow nasal cannula) during a sedated bronchoscopy can prevent low oxygen levels (hypoxemia) in young children. It may help keep your child safer during the procedure and improve recovery.
This trial studies how different oxygen flow rates affect breathing during the process of placing a breathing tube in babies. It may help clinicians choose safer oxygen settings during routine and urgent (but not life-threatening) airway management.
This study looks at how a special oxygen therapy, called high-flow nasal oxygen therapy, is used in children's hospital wards. By tracking how it's used, researchers hope to improve care for other children who need breathing support.
This trial tests whether a special oxygen device (HFNC) can prevent low oxygen levels in children during anesthesia. It is for children aged 2-10 who are generally healthy and having surgery.
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 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.
