New lung technique may boost heart function in kids after surgery
NCT ID NCT07486167
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special breathing maneuver during heart surgery can improve heart and lung function in children with congenital heart disease. About 80 children will be randomly assigned to receive either the maneuver or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach helps them breathe better and need less support after surgery.
