What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study will observe 32 children aged 2-10 years undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Researchers will use ultrasound and light sensors to measure brain blood flow and oxygen levels during surgery. The goal is to understand how the surgical position and gas used affect the brain, which could improve safety in future pediatric surgeries.

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 successful, this could help doctors better monitor brain health during children's surgeries and improve safety guidelines.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study with only 32 children, so findings may not apply to all patients or surgeries. It does not test any treatment.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Children aged 2-10 years who are scheduled for elective pediatric laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia will be included. Only patients with ASA physical status I-II will be eligible. Patients with known neurological disorders, intracranial pathology, cerebrovascular disease, severe cardiac or respiratory disease, or who develop intraoperative hemodynamic instability will be excluded. Cerebral hemodynamics will be monitored using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at three predefined intraoperative time points. Written informed consent will be obtained from the parent or legal guardian prior to enrollment.

Ages

2 to 10 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.
