Side-lying position for waking up after tonsil and adenoid surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific body position (lying on the side) during waking up from anesthesia helps children breathe more easily and safely after tonsil and adenoid removal. It may reduce breathing problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- For children ages 1 to 6 years.
- Your child is scheduled for day surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids under general anesthesia.
- The child should be in good overall health, with no significant heart, lung, or other major conditions.
- No airway abnormalities or previous difficult anesthesia intubation.
- No cold, cough, or chest infection within the past 30 days.

This study looks at children getting adenoid surgery (adenoidectomy) to see how different factors and surgical methods affect whether any adenoid tissue is left behind. It aims to help improve surgical outcomes.
This study tests whether giving children either oral melatonin or a nebulized sedative (dexmedetomidine) before surgery can reduce confusion and restlessness (emergence agitation) when they wake up from anesthesia. It may help children recover more calmly after adenotonsillectomy.
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
This study tests whether the position your child's head and body are in during extubation (when the breathing tube is removed after surgery) can help keep oxygen levels stable)Skip hypoxemia (low oxygen). It applies to children having tonsil and/or adenoid removal, and aims to make recovery safer and more comfortable.
This study checks if tilting a child's head back during surgery changes the pressure in the breathing tube. It helps doctors make sure children's airways stay safe during tonsil or adenoid removal.
This trial tests whether giving melatonin before surgery can help children be less agitated and confused when waking up from anesthesia after tonsil removal. If it works, it could make the recovery smoother for both children and parents.
