Testing sedation monitoring during anesthesia for children’s throat surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a monitoring method for how deeply a child is sedated matches how the child’s reflexes react during intravenous anesthesia. It may help anesthesiologists keep children safer and more comfortable during direct laryngoscopy procedures using medications like dexmedetomidine and remifentanil.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for elective direct laryngoscopy with surgery
- A parent or legal guardian can give written consent for the study
- No known allergy to dexmedetomidine at the start of anesthesia
- No known allergy to remifentanil at the start of anesthesia
- Your child’s oxygen level at the start of anesthesia (SaO2) must be at least 85%

This study looks at whether dexmedetomidine changes the minimum amount of sevoflurane (an inhaled anesthesia medicine) needed during surgery in young children. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate anesthesia dosing for kids undergoing surgery.
This study tests three different medicines to help young children relax before surgery to remove their tonsils and adenoids. It aims to find which medicine works best and is safest for kids ages 2 to 5.
This study tests a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) given as a nasal spray to help children relax before surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that works well with the least side effects.
This trial compares two ways to help children relax and manage pain during orthopedic procedures: a nasal spray (dexmedetomidine) versus a liquid taken by mouth (chloral hydrate). The study aims to see which one works better and is safer for kids.
This trial tests whether giving children a medication called dexmedetomidine makes placing a breathing tube (called a laryngeal mask airway) smoother and reduces coughing after surgery, compared to another medication called lidocaine.
This trial tests a calming/anxiety-reducing medicine to see if it helps children feel less scared during stitches for a skin cut. It may help make the repair process easier for children and their caregivers.
