Comparing two sedatives for safer breathing in children having a scope test
This study tests two different sedative medicines to see which one helps children aged 6 to 12 breathe more safely during a gastroscopy (a scope test to look at the stomach). It compares a new drug, esketamine, with a combination of remazolam and propofol to find the one with fewer breathing problems.
