Breathing technique during heart surgery for children
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a heart condition that was present at birth.
- Your child is having heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine.
- Your child does not have a single ventricle heart defect.
- Your child does not need a mechanical heart or lung support device like ECMO or a VAD.
- Your child was not born prematurely before 36 weeks and does not have chronic lung disease.
