Choosing the best anesthesia method for urgent surgery in children
This study compares two ways of putting children to sleep for urgent surgery when they have a full stomach. The goal is to find the safest, most effective method for kids needing quick operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is younger than 14 years old.
- Your child is having urgent surgery and has a 'full stomach' (not fasted before anesthesia).
- Your child's blood pressure and heart are stable (no severe low blood pressure or shock).

This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children during planned surgeries: one that starts with an inhaled medicine and switches to an IV medicine, versus using only IV anesthesia from the start. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for children.
This study compares different anesthesia approaches to see which one helps children wake up more calmly after urogenital surgery (surgery on the urinary or reproductive system). Researchers want to find the best way to reduce agitation and confusion as children wake up from anesthesia.
This study tests two different ways of helping children breathe during anesthesia to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help doctors choose the safest approach for kids having surgery.
This study tests a way to help children aged 5-12 feel less anxious before surgery. If successful, it could make the start of anesthesia calmer and more comfortable for your child.
This study tests a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) given as a nasal spray to help children relax before surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that works well with the least side effects.
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.
