Diaphragm ultrasound for children with sleep apnea
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure diaphragm movement in children with sleep apnea during routine surgery. It may help doctors better understand how sleep apnea affects breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 12 years old
- Your child is having planned surgery under general anesthesia
- Your child is healthy (ASA 1 or 2) and not extremely overweight
- Your child does not have muscle or nerve disease or diaphragm paralysis
- Your child is not taking medications that affect muscle function
- You can provide a completed sleep questionnaire about your child's sleep habits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a new way to guide surgery for children with sleep-disordered breathing (loud snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep). Doctors will use a special camera (endoscopy) to look inside the airway while the child is asleep, to help decide the best surgical treatment.
This study tests a new computer algorithm (called BodySleep) that analyzes sleep data to help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children. It aims to make diagnosis faster and easier for kids who are already scheduled for a sleep study.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage patients with obstructive sleep apnea. It may help reduce breathing complications after surgery.
This study uses ultrasound to look at children's airways before planned surgery under general anesthesia. It aims to help doctors better predict the right size of breathing tube, which could reduce complications.
This trial uses ultrasound (a non-painful scanning method) to measure how well the diaphragm works around the time of surgery. It aims to learn whether diaphragm changes during surgery relate to breathing problems, especially in people undergoing abdominal, pelvic, or vascular operations.
This study tests a wearable device that can help monitor breathing and sleep in children. It compares children with sleep apnea to children without sleep apnea using a simple nighttime monitoring approach.
