Infrared sensor to predict recovery in young children
This study tests a special sensor placed on the forehead to see if it can help doctors predict how children will recover from anaesthesia. The goal is to improve safety for children having surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 months and 5 years old (under 59 months).
- Your child is having surgery under general anaesthesia (not on the heart, brain, or for cancer or burns).
- The surgery will last at least 30 minutes and involve no significant pain lasting more than a week.
- Your child is not on extra oxygen, not sedated, and not on a breathing tube at the time of the study.
- No severe developmental delay and no planned hospital stay longer than 3 days after surgery.

This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
This study tests whether using special brain-monitoring devices during anesthesia can help reduce confusion and agitation that sometimes happens after surgery in children ages 1–6. The goal is to improve recovery by helping doctors manage anesthesia more precisely.
This study is testing a new, non-invasive way to measure hemoglobin (the part of blood that carries oxygen) using a light sensor on the skin, without needing extra blood draws. The goal is to see if this sensor is accurate for children having heart procedures, which could reduce the number of needle sticks they need.
This study tests if a special heat-sensing camera can predict whether a nerve block will work for children having hernia surgery. If successful, this could help doctors know right away if the block is effective.
This trial checks if a simple monitor reading (peripheral perfusion index) can help doctors know if a numbing shot (caudal block) will work well for children having belly or pelvic surgery. It may lead to better pain control during and after surgery.
This study is testing a method to monitor oxygen levels in tissue and blood during major surgery. Researchers want to see if this can help doctors better understand how the body is coping during the operation, which might lead to improved patient care.
