NCT ID NCT05064592

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study reviewed medical records of 50 children on breathing machines to see if inhaled sedatives (halogenated gases) could reduce the need for other sedative drugs. The goal was to see if these gases help lower doses of medications like midazolam and morphine. The study is complete and provides insights for future care.
