Comparing two breathing machine methods during children's surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of delivering breathing support during surgery in children who need a breathing tube. It uses special monitors to see which method works better for the lungs and might help doctors choose the safest approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child are having surgery and need a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) during the operation.
- The parents or legal guardian have signed a consent form. If the child is old enough to understand, they will also be asked if they agree.
- The patient is generally healthy (ASA physical status I) or has a mild medical condition that does not limit daily activities (ASA II).
- No serious lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, or conditions that affect breathing muscles.
- No complex heart problems, severe unstable blood pressure, or recent chest surgeries or conditions like a collapsed lung.

This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
This study tests two different breathing methods during the start of anesthesia in children to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help your child have a smoother and safer anesthesia experience.
This trial compares a special ventilation method (PCV-VG) to standard care during laparoscopic surgery in children. It aims to see if it helps them breathe better during the procedure.
This study tests if a new type of breathing machine (NAVA) works better than the standard machine for babies under 2 with severe bronchiolitis in the pediatric ICU. The goal is to see which machine helps babies breathe easier and avoid needing a breathing tube.
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 trial compares two different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic hernia repair surgery in young children. It may be a good fit if your child is between 1 and 5 years old, generally healthy, and scheduled for this specific surgery.
