First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study watches 100 children aged 2-5 during surgery to compare two ways of helping them breathe: a laryngeal mask airway (a soft tube placed in the throat) and an endotracheal tube (a tube placed into the windpipe). Doctors will measure lung stress and watch for breathing problems after surgery. The goal is to learn which method might be gentler on young lungs.
