Kids' screen time linked to Post-Surgery agitation?

NCT ID NCT07552896

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will observe 288 children aged 2-11 who are having planned lower abdominal surgery. Parents will report how much screen time their child gets daily. Researchers will then check if children with more screen time are more likely to be agitated or confused when waking up from anesthesia. No treatments or changes are made—just observation to see if there is a connection.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If this study finds a link, it could help doctors identify children at higher risk for post-surgery agitation and guide screen-time recommendations before surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors not measured, and the findings may not apply to all children or surgeries.
