Blood flow monitoring in children under low-flow anesthesia
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 12 years old.
- Your child is classified as ASA I or II (generally healthy or with mild illness).
- Your child is scheduled for a planned (not emergency) surgery lasting 1 to 6 hours.
- Your child does not have any heart, lung, brain, metabolic, or gland problems.
- Your child was not born very early (premature) and is now under 2 years corrected age.
- Your child does not have obesity or severe malnutrition (body mass index outside normal range).

This study tests a low-flow anesthesia method during open-heart surgery to see if it works well and safely. It may help patients by using less medication.
This study tests whether a 'wash-in' period (a gentle start to general anesthesia) affects how well patients do during and after low-flow gas anesthesia. It is for adults having surgery lasting 2–4 hours who are generally healthy or have only minor health issues.
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.
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 trial tests whether a special oxygen device (HFNC) can prevent low oxygen levels in children during anesthesia. It is for children aged 2-10 who are generally healthy and having surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia gas flow (low-flow vs normal-flow) to see how it affects certain markers in your blood. Researchers want to understand which method might be better for your body during surgery.
