Nasal spray to help kids with colds during anesthesia
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how children with or recovering from a cold (upper respiratory infection) respond to general anesthesia during planned procedures. It aims to provide safer care for children undergoing surgery or other procedures while having a mild illness.
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.
This trial tests two medicines given as a nasal spray (dexmedetomidine or esketamine) to see which one better prevents emotional or behavior problems in children after they wake up from surgery. It may help your child feel calmer and avoid changes like crying or confusion after anesthesia.
This trial tests a medicine given as nose drops to help children relax before anesthesia and reduce confusion or agitation after surgery. It may make the anesthesia experience smoother for young children having minor surgeries.
This study compares two sedative medicines given as a nasal spray to help children relax and reduce separation anxiety before surgery. It aims to find which medicine works better for children aged 2 to 6.
This study compares two simple treatments—inhaled lidocaine (a numbing medicine) or a saltwater mist—to see which one helps children feel more comfortable after surgery to remove their adenoids or tonsils. It may help your child have less pain after the procedure.
