NCT ID NCT06303518

First seen May 25, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether changing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a child's breath during anesthesia affects how deeply asleep they are. Researchers will measure brain activity in 100 children aged 3-11 undergoing minor procedures. The goal is to see if higher CO2 levels could allow for less anesthesia medication, reducing side effects and costs.
