Testing COVID status in children having surgery
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how COVID-19 infection is handled in children (ages 2–17) who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to compare testing/safety approaches and see how they may protect pediatric surgical patients.
