Inhaled penehyclidine to prevent breathing problems in children having eye surgery
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a medication called penehyclidine (given as a mist inhaled before surgery) can help prevent breathing problems in children aged 3–7 who are having eye surgery and are at risk for such problems. The medicine is compared to a placebo (a mist with no active drug).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 7 years old.
- Your child must be scheduled for eye surgery.
- Your child must have at least one risk factor for breathing problems during anesthesia (like a recent cold, wheezing, or a family history of asthma).
- Your child cannot have serious heart, lung, kidney, or liver disease.
- Your child cannot need a breathing tube placed in the windpipe (endotracheal tube).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a nasal decongestant spray can help prevent breathing problems during anesthesia for children with a cold. If your child has a recent cold and is having surgery, this could help make the anesthesia safer.
This study tests a skin patch that helps children relax before surgery. The patch contains a medicine that is absorbed through the skin to reduce anxiety, so the child may need less anesthesia.
This trial tests a nasal spray medicine called dexmedetomidine to help children relax before surgery and reduce agitation after waking up. It also monitors brain activity during anesthesia to ensure safety and effectiveness.
This study tests whether a nasal spray medication given after surgery can help prevent negative behavior changes (like anxiety or clinginess) that sometimes happen in children after anesthesia. Researchers will compare two different medications to see which works better.
This study tests two different breathing methods during the start of anesthesia in children to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help your child have a smoother and safer anesthesia experience.
This trial compares two safe, common ways to help children relax before surgery: a medicine sprayed in the nose versus a medicine given by mouth. The goal is to see which one works better and is easier for kids.
