Breathing Safety in Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study watches for breathing problems that may happen during and after surgery to repair cleft lip or palate in babies and toddlers. The researchers want to understand when and why these breathing issues occur so they can help keep children safer during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 0 and 3 years old
- Child has cleft lip and/or palate that needs surgical repair
- Surgery is scheduled and not an emergency
- Surgery will use general anesthesia (child will be fully asleep)
- Parent or guardian can give written permission for the child to participate
- Child does not already have serious breathing problems or a breathing tube permanently in place

This trial tests whether a breathing treatment (nebulized numbing medicine) can reduce pain during cleft palate repair in young children. It may help comfort your child after surgery when they are under general anesthesia.
This study tests a prevention strategy for breathing problems after surgery. You may qualify if you're having a long surgery (over 2 hours) that is abdominal, involves lying on your stomach, or if you are obese, and you need a stomach tube as part of the procedure.
This study uses computer planning and 3D printed models to help the anesthesia team manage breathing and airway safety during a child’s cleft-related surgery. It may improve planning and safety by matching the anesthesia plan to your child’s anatomy.
This study looks at how doctors manage the airways of children (ages 1 to 4) during planned surgeries. It aims to learn about the best ways to safely place a breathing tube. If your child is healthy enough and having surgery that needs a tube, this study may help improve care for kids with similar challenges.
This study looks at ways to predict if putting a breathing tube in a child's windpipe during planned surgery will be difficult. It aims to help doctors prepare better and keep children safe.
This trial tests whether a breathing mist of two medicines (dexmedetomidine plus ketamine) works better than dexmedetomidine alone during cleft palate repair surgery. It may help improve comfort and safety around anesthesia for eligible patients.
