Using sensory fidget toys to reduce anxiety in children before and after surgery
This project will test whether giving sensory fidget toys before and after surgery helps reduce anxiety in children aged 5 to 15 having elective operations.
-
Better to Exchange ETT for LMA Before Extubation in Children Under General Anaesthesia
This study tests whether removing the endotracheal tube and using a laryngeal mask airway before the child wakes up is safer than removing the tube while awake, in children undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
-
Nasal spray to reduce breathing problems around anesthesia in children with colds
This trial tests whether a nasal decongestant spray given just before anesthesia can reduce breathing complications in children aged 1 to 8 with a recent upper respiratory infection who are having surgery.
-
Investigating chronic pain after surgery in children
This study looks at how often kids aged 0-16 have ongoing pain after surgery and what factors might contribute to it, to help doctors find ways to reduce this pain in the future.
