IV anesthesia approach for young children during surgery
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children under 10 during surgery, with a focus on how the child wakes up and breathes when the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors choose safer, smoother anesthesia for pediatric surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is younger than 10 years old
- They are having surgery with a planned breathing tube (endotracheal tube) put in
- The surgery will use general anesthesia planned as either SIIVA or TIVA
- Sevoflurane will be kept very low by the time the team removes the breathing tube
- They must be scheduled for general anesthesia for at least 30 minutes

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 two different breathing methods during the start of anesthesia in children to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help your child have a smoother and safer anesthesia experience.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children undergoing routine surgery. Researchers want to see if switching from one anesthetic gas to IV (intravenous) medication works safely and effectively.
This study tests whether giving numbing medication before putting children to sleep for dental work reduces the amount of anesthesia gas needed. It may help make dental procedures safer and more efficient for kids aged 4–12.
This trial compares recovery after two types of general anesthesia: one given through an IV (propofol) and one inhaled as a gas. It aims to see which approach leads to a smoother recovery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This study looks at brain activity (EEG) in children while they are under sevoflurane anesthesia. It may help doctors better understand how anesthesia affects the brain in young children.
