This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate through an IV early in the emergency room helps children aged 5–17 who are having a moderate asthma attack. It aims to improve breathing and reduce the need for hospital stays.
This study tests whether a high-dose vitamin D supplement can help preschool children have fewer acute asthma-like symptoms (coughing, wheezing, or trouble breathing) that require hospital care. It may help by supporting the immune and airway system, but you can only join if the child meets several safety and treatment criteria.
This trial tests if giving magnesium sulfate through an IV helps children with moderate to severe asthma attacks in the emergency department. If your child is between 2 and 17 years old and still has trouble breathing after three puffs of standard asthma medicine, this study may be an option.
This trial tests whether giving a higher dose of magnesium (given as an IV drip) works better than the standard dose for treating a severe asthma attack in the emergency room. It aims to see if the higher dose helps you breathe easier sooner.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate during heart surgery can help reduce complications for children who need a heart-lung machine. It might help your child recover better after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulphate to newborns with birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen at birth) can help them recover faster and shorten their hospital stay.
