Pupillometry for Anesthesia

Q: Are there still vacancies for participants in this investigation?

Affirmative. The details listed on clinicaltrials.gov indicate that this medical trial, which was first advertised on June 20th 2022, is actively looking for recruits. At present, the team requires 20 individuals to be sourced from a single site.

Q: How many individuals have volunteered to be participants in this experiment?

Affirmative. According to the information present on clinicaltrials.gov, this research endeavour is presently looking for participants and was initially published on June 20th 2022. The most recent edit occurred September 22nd 2022 and the project needs to recruit a total of 20 study subjects from one medical centre.

Q: Who are the ideal candidates for enrollment in this experiment?

This research is looking for 20 minors, aged between 2 and 10 years old, with laryngismus. Additionally, they must also be receiving general anesthesia or endotracheal intubation prior to surgery.

Q: Are octogenarians eligible for this experiment?

According to the study's inclusion parameters, only individuals aged 2-10 are eligible for enrollment. 32 studies have been conducted with patients younger than 18 and 93 studies were focused on those over 65.

Study Summary

This trial looks at whether measuring the size of a child's pupil can predict when they are ready to be taken off a breathing machine.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children who are undergoing surgery that requires general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. It's specifically aimed at those in good or stable condition (ASA Physical Status Class I and II). Children with more complex health issues won't be included.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing the use of pupillometry, which measures pupil response, to determine when a child under anesthesia is ready to have their breathing tube removed after surgery.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since pupillometry is a non-invasive monitoring technique, it doesn't introduce additional side effects beyond those associated with standard anesthesia care.
