Bupivacaine dosing for children's spinal anesthesia
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) based on age or weight works better for spinal anesthesia in children having belly or groin surgery. It aims to find the safest and most effective dose for each child.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
