This study looks at brain-wave activity (measured with sensors) in young children during and after general anesthesia for planned eye surgery. It may help doctors understand why some children become very upset or confused as they wake up.
This study tests whether giving melatonin before surgery can help prevent agitation and confusion in young children after they wake up from anesthesia. Participation may help your child have a smoother recovery after their procedure.
This study compares two medications given during surgery recovery to help young children wake up calmly and without distress. The goal is to find the gentlest way to help kids feel comfortable as they wake from anesthesia.
This study compares two types of anesthesia gas (sevoflurane/dexmedetomidine vs. isoflurane) to see which helps prevent agitation or confusion when children wake up after surgery. It is for children ages 2–7 having certain ear, nose, throat, eye, or urology procedures with an IV and breathing tube.
This study tests adding a sedative medicine (dexmedetomidine and/or propofol) to a nerve block to see if it helps prevent confusion and restlessness when children wake up from anesthesia. It is for children having surgery to fix an inguinal hernia near the belly button.
This study compares different anesthesia approaches to see which one helps children wake up more calmly after urogenital surgery (surgery on the urinary or reproductive system). Researchers want to find the best way to reduce agitation and confusion as children wake up from anesthesia.
