Summary

This study looked at whether using a CPAP machine after a balloon dilation procedure helps children with a narrowed windpipe (subglottic stenosis) recover more quickly and have fewer breathing problems. Researchers compared recovery times and complications in 81 children who either received CPAP or standard care after the procedure. The goal was to see if CPAP could reduce the need for intensive care and prevent issues like bronchospasm or low oxygen levels.
