Studying immune cells in children during surgery
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks closely at immune cells in children while they are having surgery under general anesthesia using a specific muscle-relaxing medicine (rocuronium). It may help researchers understand how immune systems respond around the time of surgery and anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 18 years old
- Your child will have surgery under general anesthesia
- The anesthesiology team will use the muscle relaxer rocuronium
- Your child has not recently taken medicines that change the immune system (immunomodulators or immunosuppressants)
- Your child does not have an autoimmune disease (like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Behçet’s disease)

This study looks at whether giving a deep muscle relaxant during your child's belly-button surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It may help kids feel better and recover more comfortably.
This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
This study compares two ways to monitor muscle relaxation during surgery. It looks at how well a nerve monitor on the arm works versus one on the wrist, to help doctors give the right amount of muscle relaxant medicine.
This trial tests a nerve block (an injection to numb a specific area) combined with general anesthesia during surgery. It may help children recover with less pain and fewer side effects from strong pain medicines.
This study looks at different kinds of allergy-related antibodies in people who had an allergic reaction during surgery. The goal is to better understand what immune signals are involved so future allergy prevention and care can improve.
