Randomized Controlled Trial
Lung protective ventilation during pulmonary resection in children: a prospective, single-centre, randomised controlled trial.
Perioperative ventilatory strategies for lung protection in children are underexplored. This study evaluated the effects of lung protective ventilation (LPV) on postoperative clinical outcomes in children requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV) for pulmonary resection. ⋯ NCT02680925.

Randomized Controlled Trial
High inspired oxygen fraction impairs lung volume and ventilation heterogeneity in healthy children: a double-blind randomised controlled trial.
Although a high inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) is commonly used in paediatric anaesthesia, the impact on postoperative lung function is unclear. We compared lung volume, ventilation heterogeneity, and respiratory mechanics in anaesthetised children randomised to receive low or high FiO2 intraoperatively. ⋯ NCT02384616.
