Blood flow monitor for children having a special type of anesthesia
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at a new way to measure blood flow during a procedure called caudal epidural anesthesia in children. It checks if a simple finger sensor can help doctors see how well the anesthesia is working, which might improve safety and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children between 2 and 10 years old.
- Healthy enough for surgery (classified as ASA I or II).
- Having surgery on the lower belly, groin, genitals, or legs.
- No nerve or bleeding problems, no spine deformity, no infection at the injection site.
- No known allergy to the medicines used.
- Not having anal surgery.

This study tests two devices that measure blood flow to see how well they detect pain relief from a caudal block in children having lower belly surgery. This could help doctors give better pain control during and after surgery.
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 trial tests whether a device that measures skin blood flow can help monitor children safely during low-flow anesthesia. It is for children aged 2–12 having non-emergency surgery lasting 1–6 hours.
This study looks at how blood flow in your fingers relates to low blood pressure during knee surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for future patients.
This study tests a numbing injection (caudal epidural block) to improve pain relief during children's lower body surgeries. It is for children who are generally healthy (ASA 1–2) and having certain procedures.
This study looks at how children's brains respond during laparoscopic hernia repair. It uses two noninvasive devices (a headband and sensors on the forehead) to measure blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain while the child is under anesthesia. This could help doctors better understand how to keep children safe during this type of surgery.
