Anesthesia for children with cold symptoms
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with or recovering from a cold (upper respiratory infection) respond to general anesthesia during planned procedures. It aims to provide safer care for children undergoing surgery or other procedures while having a mild illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under 18 years old.
- You are scheduled for a same-day (ambulatory) procedure that requires general anesthesia.
- You either currently have cold symptoms (such as cough, runny nose, or sore throat) or have had them within the last two weeks.

This study tests whether a nasal decongestant spray can help prevent breathing problems during anesthesia for children with a cold. If your child has a recent cold and is having surgery, this could help make the anesthesia safer.
This study compares two simple treatments—inhaled lidocaine (a numbing medicine) or a saltwater mist—to see which one helps children feel more comfortable after surgery to remove their adenoids or tonsils. It may help your child have less pain after the procedure.
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 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 trial tests a medicine given as nose drops to help children relax before anesthesia and reduce confusion or agitation after surgery. It may make the anesthesia experience smoother for young children having minor surgeries.
This trial tests whether giving two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) through the nose can help children ages 3-7 have less pain after their tonsil or adenoid surgery. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain without using strong drugs.
