Breathing patterns for kids during dental anesthesia
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing how your child breathes during dental surgery (the ratio of breathing in vs. out) affects how well they recover from anesthesia. The goal is to find a breathing pattern that helps children wake up more smoothly and safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for dental surgery under general anesthesia (fully asleep) at the study center.
- Your child is between 2 and 12 years old.
- Your child is in good overall health (ASA 1 or 2) — for example, no serious medical conditions.
- Your child does not have any known breathing problems, large tonsils/adenoids, or conditions that affect the airway.
- The surgery is expected to last between 1 and 3 hours.

This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children undergoing routine surgery. Researchers want to see if switching from one anesthetic gas to IV (intravenous) medication works safely and effectively.
This study tests whether giving pain medicine before waking up from dental anesthesia helps children recover more calmly and with less distress. Researchers will compare children who receive this preventive approach with others to see if it improves how kids feel when they wake up.
This study looks at how young children's behavior changes after getting dental treatment while asleep. It helps doctors understand and improve care for kids undergoing dental procedures under anesthesia.
This study looks at how different slow breathing rates (low flow rates) affect oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in children who are under general anesthesia and not breathing on their own. It may help doctors choose the best settings for safe surgery.
This study tests two different breathing methods during the start of anesthesia in children to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help your child have a smoother and safer anesthesia experience.
This study looks at whether simple spoken words during the process of falling asleep with a breathing mask can help children ages 5–10 have a better experience. The goal is to make anesthesia induction less scary for kids.
