Comparing three sedatives for breathing safety during children's gastroscopy
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two sedative drugs (esketamine and remimazolam) with propofol to see which is safest for breathing during a gastroscopy in children. The goal is to find a sedative that keeps your child comfortable while minimizing breathing risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child must be scheduled for a gastroscopy or upper endoscopy (a procedure to look inside the stomach) under anesthesia.
- Your child must be generally healthy (ASA I or II), with no serious medical conditions like heart, liver, or kidney disease.
- Your child must have normal oxygen levels (100% while breathing room air) before the procedure.
- Your child's weight must be within the normal range for their age and gender.
- Your child must not have had a respiratory illness (like a cold or cough) in the past 2 weeks, nor have a known difficult airway, and must not be allergic to the study medications.
