CPAP and Lateral Neck Rotation on Anesthetized Children

NCT00592423 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Last updated 2009-09-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary aim of this study is to determine the changes in upper airway anatomy that occur during lateral neck rotation and subsequent administration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in anesthetized, spontaneously breathing children. The hypothesis for this study is that neck rotation decreases overall upper airway volume because of constriction at the level of the larynx, and that this constriction is relieved by administration of CPAP.

Conditions

  • Hypoventilation

Interventions

OTHER

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure during MRI

10 cm H20 pressure for CPAP while lateral neck positioning is done for MRI - each side should take 5 minutes.
