Could fewer drugs make pediatric intubation safer?

NCT ID NCT07680400

First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

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.
