New lung scan tested on sick kids

NCT ID NCT07532811

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a special imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can safely measure blood flow and air distribution in the lungs of children with acute respiratory failure. Twenty children under 12 who are on breathing machines will receive a small injection of salt water during EIT monitoring. The goal is to see if this method works and is safe for children.

sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate injection

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a safer way to monitor lung function in critically ill children.
