Could a lower oxygen threshold get kids home sooner?
NCT ID NCT06016244
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether using a lower oxygen saturation threshold (88%) versus the standard (92%) to decide when to give supplemental oxygen helps children aged 6 weeks to 12 years recover faster from respiratory distress. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups, and researchers measure how long it takes to meet discharge criteria. The goal is to find a safe, cost-effective approach that shortens hospital stays.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- oxygen saturation threshold (88% or 92%) for deciding when to give supplemental oxygen
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a safe, cost-effective oxygen target that shortens hospital stays and speeds recovery for children with breathing problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial, and results may not apply to all hospitals or children. The lower threshold (88%) might not be safe for every child, and the study may not detect rare complications.
