NCT ID NCT07273487

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether training nurses to understand ventilator waveforms and alarms could reduce breathing problems in children on ventilators. Researchers split two pediatric ICU units into a training group and a control group. They measured how often the child's breathing was out of sync with the ventilator and how many alarms went off.
