Can FPCA prevent confusion in young kids after surgery?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medicine called FPCA can prevent sudden confusion (delirium) in young children after surgery. If your child is having short surgery with mask anesthesia for the first time, this study may help them have a smoother recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 6 years old.
- Your child is having planned (non-emergency) surgery that should take 2 hours or less.
- It will be your child's first time getting general anesthesia, and it will be given by mask (inhalation).
- Your child is generally healthy (classified as ASA I or II).
- At least one parent lives with the child for more than 3 months each year and can join the study visits.
- Your child does not have serious organ problems, developmental delays, or hearing or vision issues that could affect the study.

This study tests a way to reduce post-surgery agitation (confusion or restlessness) in babies aged 3 to 12 months who need anesthesia for a procedure. The goal is to make recovery calmer and safer for your baby.
This trial tests if a live parent-child video chat or a cartoon before surgery can reduce agitation when a child wakes up from anesthesia. It may help children aged 2-6 who are having planned surgery.
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 compares two pain medications used during anesthesia for children having urologic surgery to see which one causes fewer episodes of confusion or agitation after waking up and helps recovery go more smoothly.
This study looks at whether a protein called GDNF in the blood can help predict if a child will become confused or have other brain problems after surgery. It aims to improve how we care for children during and after their operation.
This study looks at how often older adults develop sudden confusion (delirium) after non-heart operations under general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and improve care after surgery.
