Measuring sevoflurane levels in children during anesthesia
Sevoflurane Concentrations During Induction of Anesthesia With the Drager Apollo and GE Ohmeda Workstations in Children
State University of New York at Buffalo · NCT06510803
This study is testing how much sevoflurane, a common anesthesia gas, is in the bodies of healthy children aged 2-6 during the first 10 minutes of their surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to record sevoflurane concentrations and vital signs in healthy children aged 2-6 years undergoing minor elective surgery under general anesthesia. The study will adhere to standard anesthetic management while specifically monitoring the anesthetic gas concentrations during the first 10 minutes of anesthesia induction. A total of 28 children will be enrolled, with data collected from two different anesthesia workstations at Oishei Children's Hospital in Buffalo, NY. Consent will be obtained from parents, with provisions for translation services as needed.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy children aged 2-6 years scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia.
Not a fit: Patients with moderate or severe cardiorespiratory disease, difficult airway, or other specified exclusions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of sevoflurane use in pediatric anesthesia, potentially leading to improved safety and efficacy.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is observational and may not have been extensively tested in this specific context, similar studies on anesthetic monitoring have shown promising results.
