Bronchoscopy for children with breathing or lung problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how useful a procedure called flexible bronchoscopy is for diagnosing and treating breathing or lung issues in children. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a camera is passed into the airways to see inside and sometimes take samples or remove blockages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 1 and 18 years old
- Child has been referred to the pediatric bronchoscopy unit
- Parent or guardian agrees to participate in the study

This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This study tests whether doing a bronchoscopy (a procedure where a tiny camera is used to wash out the lungs) at the right time helps children with severe pneumonia recover better. The goal is to find the best timing for this procedure to improve breathing and speed up healing.
This study looks at the outcomes of bronchoscopy (a procedure where a thin tube with a camera is used to see and remove objects from the airway) in children who may have inhaled a foreign object. The goal is to understand how well this procedure works and what happens afterward.
This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
This trial looks at how doctors learn and perform bronchoscopy, a procedure to look inside your lungs. It is for patients who are already scheduled to have a bronchoscopy and a recent CT scan.
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.
