NCT07450495

Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of 6% versus 8% sevoflurane inhalation induction in pediatric patients undergoing minor ophthalmic surgery. The primary outcome is emergence agitation assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale. Secondary outcomes include hemodynamic parameters, induction time, recovery time, and adverse events.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PAED score

    Measured using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale. The PAED scale ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating more severe emergence delirium (worse outcome).

    Within 30 minutes after recovery

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Induction time

    Immediately after anesthesia induction

  • Recovery time

    Immediately after anesthesia discontinuation

  • Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)

    Perioperatively

  • Respiratory depression

    Perioperatively

  • Hypoxia

    Perioperatively

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Sevoflurane 8% Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
