NCT ID NCT05918172
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 241 children in intensive care who needed a breathing tube. It compared using an automatic device to keep the tube's cuff pressure steady versus manual checks by nurses. The goal was to see if automatic control could lower the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia. The findings help decide the best way to protect these young patients.
