This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether using a combination of two common anesthetics (propofol and sevoflurane) without additional muscle relaxants or painkillers can still provide good conditions for placing a breathing tube through the nose in children. The trial involves 160 children aged 1 to 10 having elective dental surgery. Researchers will compare this lighter drug approach to the standard method to see if it is just as effective and possibly safer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
propofol and sevoflurane
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could reduce the amount of anesthetic drugs given to children while still ensuring safe breathing tube placement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial. The reduced drug approach may not work as well as the standard method, and there is a risk of poor intubation conditions or side effects.
