Which ventilation mode is kinder to kids' lungs during anesthesia?
NCT ID NCT06430229
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 110 children aged 2-10 having surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers compared two common breathing machine modes (volume-controlled vs. pressure-controlled) to see which one leads to less lung collapse (atelectasis). They used lung ultrasound to check the lungs at several points during surgery. The goal is to find out if one mode is better for preventing lung problems in children.

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 one ventilation mode clearly causes less lung collapse, it could guide anesthesiologists to choose the better method for children during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all children or surgeries, and ultrasound scoring has limits.
