Comparing ventilation methods in young children during surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates different strategies of positive pressure ventilation in children aged 1 to 5 years undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It compares volume-controlled ventilation (VCV), pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), and pressure-controlled volume guaranteed ventilation (PCV-VG) to determine the most effective method for ensuring stable ventilation. The use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is emphasized for its advantages in minimizing airway irritation. The goal is to improve respiratory management during pediatric anesthesia.
