Summary

This study will compare two ways of helping children breathe during surgery—Volume-Controlled Ventilation and Pressure-Regulated Volume Control—to see which one causes less lung collapse. About 88 children will be monitored using lung ultrasound and electrical imaging. The goal is to find a safer approach for young patients under anesthesia.
