ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying different methods of breathing support for children undergoing laparoscopic surgery, which is a type of minimally invasive surgery. The researchers want to see how a specific breathing technique called Pressure Controlled Ventilation - Volume Guarantee (PCV-VG) compares to two other methods: Volume Control Ventilation (VCV) and Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV). The goal is to understand how these techniques affect children's breathing and oxygen levels during surgery.

To participate in this study, children aged 1 to 8 years old who are scheduled for elective abdominal or urologic laparoscopic surgery may be eligible, provided they have a good overall health status (ASA physical status I-II) and a body mass index (BMI) within a certain range. However, children with serious health issues, lung diseases, or other specific conditions will not be included. Participants can expect to have their breathing monitored closely during the surgery, and their information will help doctors learn more about the best ways to support young patients' breathing during procedures.
