NCT ID NCT04091724
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is watching 400 children under 16 who are having planned surgery. Researchers will use a special brain wave test (EEG) to see if they can predict which kids will wake up confused or agitated (emergence delirium). The goal is to better understand why this happens and how to spot it early.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict and prevent delirium in children after surgery, improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to any direct changes in care, and results may not apply to all children.
