Doctors seek better way to wake kids from surgery when they have a cold

NCT ID NCT04155892

Summary

This study aimed to find the best signs to know when it's safe to remove a child's breathing tube after surgery, especially if the child has a cold or upper respiratory infection. Researchers observed 760 children under age 8 during outpatient surgery. They tracked specific physical signs, like eye opening and breathing strength, to see which ones best predicted a smooth tube removal.
