New monitor could make breathing tube insertion safer for kids
NCT ID NCT07435792
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a device called TetraGraph that measures muscle response to electrical stimulation. It will track how quickly the muscle relaxant rocuronium takes effect and wears off in 130 children having surgery. The goal is to help doctors know the best time to place a breathing tube, potentially reducing sore throats and vocal cord injuries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- rocuronium (a muscle relaxant given during anesthesia)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help anesthesiologists give muscle relaxants more precisely, reducing complications during breathing tube placement.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patients or change current practice.
