NCT ID NCT07585643
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will check if two common brain monitors used during anesthesia (BIS and Sedline) give accurate readings in children with severe seizure disorders. Researchers will compare these monitors to a standard EEG in 40 children under 16. The goal is to make anesthesia safer for these kids.
