Comparing two sedative medicines for children having surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of sedation medicine to see which one is safer for young children during surgery with a numbing block. The goal is to find which medicine causes less breathing trouble.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child should be between 3 and 6 years old.
- Your child should be in overall good health (mild illness is okay).
- Your child's weight should be in a healthy range for their height.
- The surgery must be able to be done with a numbing block or epidural, not full general anesthesia.
- You, as a parent or guardian, must agree to join the study and sign a consent form.
- No general anesthesia in the last 3 months, no breathing infections recently, no severe heart, liver, or kidney problems, and no allergies to the study drugs.
