Modern tools for lung infections in children
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests modern technology for diagnosing and treating lower respiratory infections in children. It may help kids with symptoms like fast breathing, wheezing, or chest retractions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a lower respiratory tract infection (like bronchiolitis or pneumonia).
- Your child must have breathing symptoms like fast breathing, wheezing, chest pulling, or trouble breathing.
- Your child must NOT have severe heart problems, cystic fibrosis, or certain chronic lung diseases.
- Your child must weigh more than 3 kg (about 6.6 pounds).
- You (the caregiver) must be able to speak English or Norwegian.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses chest ultrasound (sound waves to look at the lungs) to help doctors understand respiratory infections (like colds, flu, or pneumonia) in people up to age 20. It aims to see if this imaging method improves diagnosis and care for patients seen in the emergency department or admitted to the hospital.
This trial tests new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
This trial tests whether using a lung ultrasound can help doctors decide if antibiotics are needed for children and teens hospitalized with a lower respiratory tract infection. It may reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study uses lung ultrasound—a safe, painless imaging test—to help doctors guide breathing support and surfactant treatment for newborns. It may help your baby's lungs work better with fewer complications.
This study tests if lung ultrasound can help doctors decide whether to use antibiotics for children with pneumonia. If your child has signs of pneumonia but is stable enough for an ultrasound, this could help avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This study tests how well a blood test (CRP) and a lung ultrasound (an imaging test using sound waves) can tell what is causing your cough and breathing symptoms. It aims to see if these quick, non-invasive tests can help doctors diagnose lower respiratory infections more accurately.
