New study tests oxygen methods to help kids breathe on their own

This study looks at children aged 2 months to 13 years who are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) for at least 24 hours. Researchers want to find out what predicts successful removal of the breathing tube, and whether a special high-speed oxygen method (High Velocity Nasal Insufflation) works better than regular oxygen to prevent the need for re-inserting the tube within 48 hours. The goal is to improve care for children in the intensive care unit.
