Can a simple breathing maneuver prevent lung collapse in kids after surgery?
NCT ID NCT07294560
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special breathing technique called a recruitment maneuver can prevent lung collapse (atelectasis) in children aged 1-14 during surgery. 78 children will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard breathing support, a recruitment maneuver, or a recruitment maneuver done in different positions. Doctors will use lung ultrasound to check how well the lungs are working and track any breathing problems after surgery.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
recruitment maneuver (a breathing technique during surgery to reopen collapsed lung areas)
What this could lead to
If effective, this technique could reduce lung complications after surgery in children, making recovery safer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (78 children) comparing different breathing methods, so results may not apply to all patients. The maneuvers themselves may cause temporary changes in lung pressure.
Conditions
