Eye test may spot kids at risk for opioid breathing trouble

NCT ID NCT07573150

First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a quick, non-invasive eye test (pupillometry) can help identify children at risk for serious breathing problems caused by opioid pain medicine after tonsillectomy. About 300 children will have their pupils measured before, during, and after surgery. The goal is to see if pupil responses can predict who might have trouble breathing, so doctors can monitor those children more closely.
