New breathing device could keep kids safer during surgery
NCT ID NCT06425406
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can prevent dangerously low oxygen levels in children aged 2-10 during anesthesia before intubation. Researchers will compare safe apnea time—how long oxygen stays above 95%—in 48 healthy children. If effective, HFNC could become a standard tool to reduce complications like lung collapse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a safer way to keep oxygen levels stable during anesthesia in children, reducing risks of low oxygen and lung collapse.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 48 children, so results may not apply to all kids. The device may not prevent low oxygen in every case.
