EEG study of sevoflurane anesthesia in children
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 day and 6 years old.
- Your child is in good general health (ASA I or II).
- Your child needs general anesthesia with sevoflurane.
- You (the parent or guardian) agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- No serious heart, brain, liver, kidney, or metabolic conditions.
- No birth defects or genetic issues affecting the brain.
- Your child was not born very early (before 32 weeks).
- No recent cold or upper respiratory infection in the last two weeks.

This trial studies brain activity (EEG) in children receiving remimazolam, a type of anesthesia. It aims to understand how the drug affects the brain during surgery.
This study looks at how sevoflurane, a common anesthesia gas, affects sweating in children aged 0-12 during lower-body surgery. It may help doctors better understand temperature control in children during anesthesia.
This study looks at how the brain’s electrical activity (measured with a painless EEG sensor) changes in children during planned surgery using common anesthesia medicines. It may help doctors better understand brain effects of anesthesia in healthy children having non–head or non–heart surgery.
This trial tests whether giving numbing medicine before dental anesthesia reduces the amount of anesthesia gas needed for children. This may help children recover faster and have fewer side effects.
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 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.
