Helping children breathe on their own after ventilator support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special type of high-flow nasal therapy can help children come off a breathing machine (ventilator) more successfully. It compares standard care with this extra support to find what works best for kids ages 2 months to 13 years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 2 months and 13 years old and weigh at least 9 pounds (4 kilograms).
- Your child has been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 24 hours for any reason.
- Your child's doctors have decided it is time to start removing the ventilator (weaning).
- Your child has not been on a ventilator for longer than 21 days.

This trial tests whether certain physical therapy exercises for the arms and chest can help patients get off a breathing machine (ventilator) faster. It compares two different exercises and a breathing-machine setting to see which works best.
This trial tests whether babies with bronchiolitis who have been on a high-flow nasal cannula (a breathing tube) for at least 12 hours can safely stop it. It aims to find a better way to wean babies off this breathing support.
This study compares four different ways to remove breathing support from people who have low oxygen levels. The goal is to find the most effective method to help you breathe on your own.
This trial compares two types of breathing support (high-flow nasal cannula vs. non-invasive ventilation) in children who have recently had heart surgery and are at high risk of having trouble breathing after their breathing tube is removed. The goal is to see which method works better to help them breathe on their own.
This study looks at how children breathe while on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help doctors adjust the machine better. It may help improve comfort and weaning off the ventilator.
This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
