New computer tool aims to cut ventilator time for kids after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT05687292
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a clinical decision support system (CDSS) that helps doctors decide when to remove breathing tubes from children after heart surgery. About 330 children under 12 who have been on a ventilator for at least 48 hours after surgery will take part. The system gives twice-daily recommendations based on patient data, and researchers will compare how long these children stay on ventilators versus similar patients from the past.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Clinical decision support system (CDSS) software
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help children breathe on their own sooner after heart surgery, reducing complications and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study comparing to past patients, so results may not apply everywhere. The system only gives recommendations—doctors still make final decisions, so impact may be limited.
