Which anesthetic gets kids breathing tubes in fastest?

NCT ID NCT07673003

First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two common anesthesia medicines—sevoflurane (inhaled) and propofol (injected)—to see which one allows doctors to insert a laryngeal mask airway (a breathing tube) faster and more easily in children aged 4 to 12 having minor surgery. Researchers will measure how quickly each drug works and how well it relaxes the jaw. The goal is to find the best option for safe and efficient airway management in kids.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

sevoflurane and propofol

What this could lead to

If one drug works faster or better, it could help doctors choose the best option for children needing a breathing tube during minor surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-center study comparing two well-known drugs, so the results may not apply to all children or surgeries. Neither drug is new, so no major breakthrough is expected.
