Which ventilation method best protects Kids' lungs during surgery?
NCT ID NCT07182539
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If one method works better, it could guide safer breathing support for children during surgery, reducing lung complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all children or settings.
