Comparing two breathing methods during anesthesia in children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests two different ways of helping children breathe during anesthesia to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help doctors choose the safest approach for kids having surgery.
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 or has only mild health conditions (ASA 1 or 2).
- Your child is scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia.
- Your child will receive anesthesia through a breathing mask (inhalation) using a drug called sevoflurane.
- Your child does not have a severe cold or cough, fever, or trouble breathing in the last 7 days.
- Your child has no known heart problems or difficulty with anesthesia tubes.

This study compares two ways of ventilating (helping breathe) children during surgery to see which one keeps lungs healthier. It uses special monitoring to guide the settings.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children during planned surgeries: one that starts with an inhaled medicine and switches to an IV medicine, versus using only IV anesthesia from the start. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for children.
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 Phase 3 trial tests a sedation approach using inhaled (“volatile”) anesthesia gases for children who need a ventilator. It aims to improve comfort and brain-related outcomes while they stay on the breathing machine for at least a day.
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.
