Personalized breathing support for kids after heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized breathing technique to improve lung function and heart performance in children who have had heart surgery or are on ECMO. The goal is to find the best way to open up the lungs safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a congenital heart disease (a heart problem they were born with).
- Your child had surgery using a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- Your child is not on ECMO or a heart pump (VAD).
- Your child was not born before 36 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your child does not have chronic lung disease or severe underdeveloped lungs.
- Your child’s breathing tube has no large air leaks (more than 15%).

This study tests a special breathing technique during heart surgery in children with congenital heart disease. The technique may help the heart pump blood better and make the lungs more flexible during and after surgery.
This study looks at how children breathe while on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help doctors adjust the machine better. It may help improve comfort and weaning off the ventilator.
This study tests different ways of setting breathing support during open-heart surgery to reduce lung complications after surgery. It may help improve recovery by protecting your lungs while you are on the heart-lung machine.
This study tests a specific heart-lung machine called Cardiohelp to help children with severe heart failure. It looks at how well the machine works and whether a blood thinner (either heparin or bivalirudin) is safer and more effective.
This study tests whether personalized breathing machine settings can improve outcomes for people on ECMO (a heart-lung support machine). It is designed for patients who have had or are waiting for a lung or heart transplant.
This study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after surgery.
