Carbon dioxide and brain activity in children under anesthesia
This study looks at how levels of carbon dioxide in the breath affect brain activity during anesthesia in children. It helps doctors understand the best way to monitor and keep a child safely asleep during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 11 years old.
- The procedure is non-invasive (like an MRI) or uses numbing medicine so there's no pain during surgery.
- Your child is generally healthy or has only mild health issues (ASA I or II).
- Anesthesia will be given through an IV (not a mask), and your child will have a breathing tube.
- The surgery is expected to last at least 90 minutes.

This study uses a breathing challenge while you’re in an MRI to see how blood flow signals in the brain change. It may help researchers better understand how brain imaging signals respond to breathing and oxygen/carbon dioxide levels.
This study looks at how brain waves change during anesthesia and sedation in adults and children. It may help doctors understand how to better monitor and adjust these medications in the future.
This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
This study looks at how the brain reacts to anesthesia in newborn babies. It may help doctors understand how to keep babies safe and comfortable during surgery.
