Does a stomach tube prevent breathing problems in babies with pyloric stenosis?
NCT ID NCT05068622
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether placing a tube through the nose into the stomach (nasogastric tube) before surgery helps prevent breathing complications in infants with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The condition causes a blockage in the stomach outlet, leading to forceful vomiting. Researchers compared babies who received the tube with those who did not, checking for issues like pneumonia or need for oxygen before surgery. The goal is to see if this common practice actually provides a benefit.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nasogastric tube
What this could lead to
If the tube proves helpful, it could confirm a standard practice for preventing breathing complications before pyloric stenosis surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The tube might not reduce complications and could even delay treatment.
