New Turbine-Powered pump could make Children's laparoscopic surgery safer

NCT ID NCT07715968

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a new turbine-based CO2 insufflator, a device that pumps gas into the abdomen during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery in children. The turbine aims to keep pressure more stable than standard pumps, which may improve breathing and safety. Researchers will check if the device works as intended and compare its pressure stability to the usual insufflator. Only 12 children weighing at least 10 kg and scheduled for laparoscopic surgery will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a turbine-based CO2 insufflator device
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could make laparoscopic surgery safer and more stable for children by maintaining steady abdominal pressure.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility trial with only 12 children, so results may not apply broadly. The device could still cause unexpected complications.
