NCT ID NCT07482514

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will observe 32 children aged 2-10 years undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Researchers will use ultrasound and light sensors to measure brain blood flow and oxygen levels during surgery. The goal is to understand how the surgical position and gas used affect the brain, which could improve safety in future pediatric surgeries.
