First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the amount of propofol (anesthesia medicine) in a child's breath matches the amount in their blood during eye surgery. 32 children took part, and the researchers compared breath measurements with blood samples and brain activity. The goal was to see if a simple breath test could replace repeated blood draws to monitor anesthesia levels.
