Comparing two ways to help children breathe during anesthesia
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests two different breathing methods during the start of anesthesia in children to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help your child have a smoother and safer anesthesia experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 months and 6 years old
- Your child is generally healthy (no significant medical conditions)
- Your child is having surgery with general anesthesia using a mask or tube to help them breathe
- Your child will start anesthesia with a breathing gas called sevoflurane
- You or the child's legal guardian can give consent

This study compares two ways of delivering breathing support during surgery in children who need a breathing tube. It uses special monitors to see which method works better for the lungs and might help doctors choose the safest approach.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children under 10 during surgery, with a focus on how the child wakes up and breathes when the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors choose safer, smoother anesthesia for pediatric surgeries.
This study looks at how children are ventilated (helped to breathe) during surgery. It will help doctors understand current practices and improve care for young patients.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children undergoing routine surgery. Researchers want to see if switching from one anesthetic gas to IV (intravenous) medication works safely and effectively.
This study compares two different anesthesia medicines (propofol and remimazolam) to see which one is safer for children's breathing during surgery. It may be a good fit if your child is having a planned surgery that can be done with a numbing shot instead of a breathing tube.
This study tests whether giving numbing medication before putting children to sleep for dental work reduces the amount of anesthesia gas needed. It may help make dental procedures safer and more efficient for kids aged 4–12.
