Position during extubation to prevent low oxygen in children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether the position your child's head and body are in during extubation (when the breathing tube is removed after surgery) can help keep oxygen levels stable)Skip hypoxemia (low oxygen). It applies to children having tonsil and/or adenoid removal, and aims to make recovery safer and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 2 and 10 years old.
- Your child must be scheduled for an ear, nose, and throat surgery, specifically to remove tonsils (tonsillectomy), adenoids (adenoidectomy), or both.
- Your child must be in good general health (classified as ASA I or II), meaning they have no significant medical conditions.
- Your child must not have heart or lung disease (like asthma, heart defects, or chronic lung problems).
- A parent or legal guardian must agree to the study.

This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
This study checks if tilting a child's head back during surgery changes the pressure in the breathing tube. It helps doctors make sure children's airways stay safe during tonsil or adenoid removal.
This study tests whether a specific body position (lying on the side) during waking up from anesthesia helps children breathe more easily and safely after tonsil and adenoid removal. It may reduce breathing problems after surgery.
This study tests whether changing your body position after surgery helps improve oxygen levels in your blood and prevents low oxygen. If you qualify, participating may help doctors find better ways to keep patients safe during recovery.
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.
This study tests whether your body position during recovery from sedated endoscopy (a camera procedure to examine your stomach and colon) affects your oxygen levels. The researchers want to find the best recovery position to keep your oxygen levels stable and safe.
