Lung volume test during heart surgery in children
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a breathing maneuver during heart surgery to see how it affects blood flow and lung function in children with congenital heart disease. It may help doctors improve breathing support during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a congenital heart defect and is scheduled for heart surgery using a heart-lung machine.
- Your child does not have a single-ventricle heart condition.
- Your child is not on ECMO or a ventricular assist device.
- Your child was born at 36 weeks or later.
- Your child does not have chronic lung disease.
- Your child's breathing tube leak is 15% or less.
- You as a parent or guardian must agree to the study and sign a consent form.

This study tests a personalized breathing technique to improve lung function and heart performance in children who have had heart surgery or are on ECMO. The goal is to find the best way to open up the lungs safely.
This trial tests a lung-friendly breathing method during coronary artery bypass surgery, using a personalized ventilator setting to protect your lungs. It may help reduce lung complications after surgery.
This trial tests a new way to deliver oxygen during chest surgery using a special breathing tube. Researchers believe this method may help your lungs recover better after surgery and reduce breathing complications.
This trial compares two ways of setting breathing machine pressure (PEEP) during laparoscopic surgery. It tests whether tailoring the pressure to each patient is better than using a fixed pressure for everyone. This might help people breathe easier during and after surgery.
This trial tests whether turning off one lung during heart-bypass surgery reduces breathing problems after surgery. You may qualify if you're having planned heart surgery, are over 65, and have risk factors for lung complications after surgery.
This trial tests a special breathing technique during surgery to see if it helps children's lungs work better. It may be relevant for children having surgery that lasts at least 2 hours.
