Switching anesthesia methods during children's surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 12 years old
- Surgery is scheduled and considered low or intermediate risk (like tonsil removal or hernia repair)
- Your child has no serious heart or neurological conditions that would complicate anesthesia
- Your child has no known allergies to anesthetic gases or IV medications
- Your child's airway is normal with no conditions that would make intubation difficult
- Your child does not need sedative medication before surgery and has good veins for IV placement

This study aims to improve how anesthesia care is delivered to children in participating hospitals. Because it includes all children having anesthesia, it may help ensure safer, better care during procedures.
This study tests the right dose of two common anesthesia medications (alfentanil and propofol) used together to help children fall asleep safely before surgery. Researchers want to find the best combination that works quickly and has fewer side effects.
This trial compares recovery after two types of general anesthesia: one given through an IV (propofol) and one inhaled as a gas. It aims to see which approach leads to a smoother recovery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This trial compares different medicines given by mouth before surgery to see which works best to help children relax and have less pain. If your child is having day surgery, this study might help find the best pre-surgery medicine for them.
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 study compares two anesthesia drugs — remimazolam and propofol — to see which one has a better effect on children's brain development after surgery. If your child is 3–6 years old and having a non-brain, non-heart surgery, they may be able to join.
