New oxygen method tested in kids during anesthesia
NCT ID NCT05063084
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether giving oxygen through a nasal tube (high-flow nasal oxygen) is better than a facemask for keeping oxygen levels up in children under 11 during anesthesia. 44 children having surgery took part. The goal was to see if the nasal method prevents oxygen drops during intubation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- high-flow humidified nasal oxygen (HFNO)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a safer way to give oxygen to children during anesthesia, reducing the risk of low oxygen levels.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-hospital study with only 44 children enrolled. Results may not apply to all kids or settings, and the technique may not show clear benefit.
