ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is focused on improving the safety and quality of procedures used to help children breathe in critical situations, such as when they need to be intubated (a tube placed in the windpipe to assist with breathing). These advanced airway procedures are often performed in pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) and emergency departments (EDs) and can be quite risky. The goal of the study is to find better ways to carry out these procedures, especially in cases where they are difficult or have failed in the past.
Children of all ages who have experienced specific breathing emergencies, like needing intubation or other airway interventions, may be eligible to participate. The trial is currently recruiting participants and welcomes children regardless of gender. If your child is involved, you can expect to be part of a study that aims to make these life-saving procedures safer for kids in the future. It's important to note that this study will not include children who have had these airway procedures done in operating rooms.
