PEDIATRIC ANESTHESIA

This study tests whether a nasal spray (dexmedetomidine) works better than a liquid medicine (midazolam) to help children aged 2-10 relax before surgery. The goal is to reduce anxiety and make the anesthesia process smoother. 84 children will take part, and researchers will measu…

This study looks at how different types of anesthesia affect confusion and agitation in children after surgery. It will compare two computer-controlled IV anesthesia methods and one inhaled method in 150 children aged 3-10. The goal is to find which approach leads to a calmer, mo…

This trial investigates whether a caudal nerve block, a common pain-relief method for children, increases the chance of a fistula (an abnormal opening) after surgery to correct hypospadias, a birth defect where the urine opening is on the underside of the penis. About 80 boys age…

This study wants to improve how we measure children's recovery and experience after surgery and anesthesia. Researchers will translate and test a recovery scale for Danish children aged 4-12, and also develop a new questionnaire that lets children describe their own hospital expe…

This study looks at two different breathing settings (1:2 vs. 1:3 inspiratory-to-expiratory ratio) used during anesthesia in children aged 2-12 having dental procedures. Researchers will measure vital signs, breathing quality, and recovery to see which setting leads to smoother e…

This study is looking at whether simple blood tests can help predict which children might become confused or agitated after waking up from anesthesia for circumcision. Researchers will check inflammation levels in the blood before surgery and watch for signs of delirium in the re…

This study watches 1,000 children aged 0-12 getting surgery to see if simple physical checks before anesthesia can predict a difficult airway. Doctors will measure things like jaw size and neck movement, then compare them to how easy or hard it is to place a breathing tube. The g…

This study aims to develop and test a simple landmark on the forearm to locate a specific vein (the cephalic vein) in children under 6. Parents and staff will mark the spot using a visual guide, then ultrasound checks if the vein is underneath. The goal is to make IV placement ea…

This study looks at 450 children aged 5 to 18 who need a breathing tube during surgery. Doctors will test three different scoring systems to see which one best predicts a difficult intubation. The goal is to find the most reliable method to improve safety and reduce complications…

This study looks at whether giving children a sedative called dexmedetomidine (Precedex) can lower the amount of sevoflurane anesthesia needed during surgery. Researchers will test two different doses in 180 children aged 1 month to 3 years. The goal is to find the right balance …

This study checks if certain blood markers of inflammation can predict nausea and vomiting in children after orchiopexy (surgery for undescended testicles). Researchers will measure these markers before surgery in 170 children aged 1-8 and track who gets sick afterward. No drugs …
