Can we predict breathing problems in cleft surgery? new study aims to find out

NCT ID NCT07651904

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study observes 150 infants and toddlers having cleft lip or palate repair to understand how often breathing complications occur and what factors increase risk. Researchers will use standard airway scoring tools to see if they can predict problems like laryngospasm or low oxygen levels. No new treatments are tested; the goal is to gather information that could improve safety for future surgeries.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors predict which children are at higher risk for breathing problems during cleft surgery, leading to better safety measures.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly change care. Results may not apply to all hospitals or children.
