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 trial tests a breathing maneuver during heart surgery to see how it affects blood flow and lung function in children with congenital heart disease. It may help doctors improve breathing support during and after surgery.
This study tests personalized breathing machine settings during open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine to reduce lung complications after surgery. Researchers want to see if tailoring these settings to each patient helps them recover better.
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 trial compares two ways of setting breathing machine pressure (PEEP) during laparoscopic surgery. It tests whether tailoring the pressure to each patient is better than using a fixed pressure for everyone. This might help people breathe easier during and after surgery.
This study watches how your body responds to fluids while on VA ECMO (a heart-lung machine). The goal is to improve care for people needing this support.
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.
