Can a simple drug stop kids from waking up confused after eye surgery?
NCT ID NCT06035757
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving sugammadex (a drug that reverses muscle relaxants) can lower the chance of children waking up agitated after strabismus (eye muscle) surgery. About 76 children aged 4 to 7 will be randomly assigned to receive either sugammadex or a standard drug (neostigmine). The main goal is to see if fewer children experience emergence agitation, a state of confusion and restlessness after anesthesia.
