Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are pediatric patients aged 2 to 18 years who are scheduled for surgery requiring general anesthesia with Rocuronium.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with autoimmune diseases or those on immunomodulatory treatments may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to characterize immune cells in pediatric patients aged 2 to 18 years who are undergoing general anesthesia and are expected to receive Rocuronium, a neuromuscular blocking agent. The study utilizes single-cell transcriptomic analysis to gain insights into the immune response during anesthesia, particularly in the context of potential drug allergies. By focusing on this specific patient population, the research seeks to enhance understanding of immune cell behavior in response to anesthesia and associated medications.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the safety and management of drug allergies in pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia.
How similar studies have gone: While there is ongoing research in immune cell analysis, this specific approach in pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria: * Pediatric patients between the ages of 2 and 18 undergoing general anesthesia and surgery using the neuromuscular blocker, rocuronium. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have received immunomodulators, immunosuppressants, etc. * Patients with autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Behcet's disease, etc.) * Patients who regularly take, or have taken within 4 weeks, medications that may affect the immune system (oral steroids, anti-inflammatories, etc.) * Other cases where the Principal Investigator determines that it is difficult to conduct the study.
