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.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

The study population consists of children aged 2-11 years undergoing elective lower abdominal surgery, including inguinal hernia repair, orchiopexy for undescended testis, and circumcision, at a tertiary care hospital. Participants are classified according to daily screen exposure duration based on parent-reported data. Only patients meeting the inclusion criteria and whose parents provide written informed consent will be enrolled. Children with developmental, neurological, or psychiatric disorders, or those receiving premedication, will be excluded to ensure reliable behavioral assessment using the PAED scale.
