Rapid anesthesia for urgent surgery in children
This trial compares different rapid-sequence induction techniques for children under 14 who need urgent surgery and have a full stomach. It aims to find the safest method to protect their airway during anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 14 years old
- You need urgent surgery with general anesthesia
- You have a full stomach (e.g., eaten recently)
- You do not have unstable blood pressure or heart problems

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 trial tests whether delaying medication to start breathing support (by waiting 60 seconds after sedation) is safer for critically ill adults needing emergency intubation. Standard practice is to give sedation then immediately insert the tube.
This trial compares different sleeping medicines (ketamine, propofol, and similar drugs) to see which is safest for people who need a breathing tube placed quickly in the operating room. It focuses on those at risk of stomach contents going into the lungs.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children under 10 during surgery, with a focus on how the child wakes up and breathes when the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors choose safer, smoother anesthesia for pediatric surgeries.
This study compares two different anesthesia medicines (propofol and remimazolam) to see which one is safer for children's breathing during surgery. It may be a good fit if your child is having a planned surgery that can be done with a numbing shot instead of a breathing tube.
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.
