NCT ID NCT06085326
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a digital 'Smart Checklist' designed to help doctors and nurses safely place breathing tubes in children in intensive care. The checklist pulls patient information from electronic health records and gives real-time warnings about high-risk situations. Researchers will track whether the tool reduces complications like severe oxygen drops in 3,000 children across 6 hospitals.
