NCT ID: NCT04633720 Completed - Clinical trials for Respiratory Compliance

Exploration of the Appropriate Combination of Positive End Expiratory Pressure and Tidal Volume Using the Intratidal Compliance Volume Profile in Children

Start date: December 2, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In children under 6 years of age undergoing regular surgery during general anesthesia, the intratidal compliance profile is evaluated when different tidal volumes are applied at different positive end expiratory pressures. Then determine the most appropriate combination of positive end-tidal pressure and tidal volume.

NCT ID: NCT00669383 Completed - Clinical trials for Functional Residual Capacity

Rescue Antenatal Steroids and Pulmonary Function Tests in Preterm Infants

Start date: June 2001
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

One course of steroids given to a mother before a premature delivery helps the lungs of the premature infant and decreases breathing problems. One course of antenatal steroids is the standard of care for threatened premature deliveries. It is unclear as to how long the benefit of one course of steroids last. The most benefit to the baby's lungs seem to occur if the steroids are given at least 24 hours before but within 7 days of a premature delivery. It is difficult to predict the timing of a preterm delivery so deliveries often do not occur within this time period. We hypothesize that the benefits of the steroids to the lungs wear off if the steroids are given more than 14 days before a preterm delivery, and that in these circumstances an extra course of steroids will help the premature baby's lungs and the premature baby will have less breathing problems as shown by lung function testing.
