Breathing support during surgery for children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a breathing technique used during surgery to help keep children's lungs open. It may help reduce lung issues after surgery and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child is between 1 and 14 years old.
- The surgery is expected to last at least 2 hours.
- The child has no significant lung disease (like asthma requiring daily medication).
- The child was not born very prematurely and has no major lung problems from birth.
- The child does not have a heart condition, chest wall deformity, or previous chest surgery.

This study looks at how different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic surgery affect the lungs. It will help doctors make ventilation safer for patients, especially those with lung issues.
This study tests whether using a special breathing device (high-flow nasal cannula) after laparoscopic surgery can prevent the small lung air sacs from collapsing. This may help you breathe more easily and recover faster after your operation.
This study compares two types of breathing exercises to help patients recover their lung function after chest surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either a device that pushes air into the lungs (positive pressure breathing) or a handheld spirometer to practice deep breathing.
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 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 different ways of supporting breathing during surgery affect recovery after the operation. It aims to find the best approach to help patients breathe better and heal faster after surgery.
