Lung function test during children's surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a special breathing technique during surgery to see if it helps children's lungs work better. It may be relevant for children having surgery that lasts at least 2 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 14 years old
- Your child has an ASA score of 1, 2, or 3 (a measure of overall health before surgery)
- The surgery will last at least 2 hours
- Your child does not have any major lung or heart conditions
- Your child was not born very early (before 36 weeks) or has a history of lung problems

This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
This study tests a special breathing maneuver (ultrasound-guided lung recruitment) during surgery to see if it helps prevent small areas of lung collapse in children. It may help kids with longer surgeries keep their lungs open and working better afterward.
This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
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 trial compares two methods of opening the lungs (recruitment maneuvers) after heart-lung bypass to see which works better. The study aims to help patients recover their lung function more quickly after cardiac surgery.
This study tests a breathing technique (called automatic lung recruitment) during and after laparoscopic stomach or bowel surgery. It aims to reduce lung problems in older adults. You may be eligible if you are 65 or older, having keyhole digestive surgery lasting over 2 hours, and have a moderate to high risk for lung complications.
