Monitoring sedation depth in children during anesthesia for laryngoscopy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates how well the NeuroSENSE ® NS 701 Monitor correlates with reflexes during intravenous anesthesia in children undergoing direct laryngoscopy. It aims to improve sedation management by preventing under- or over-sedation through real-time monitoring of sedation depth. The monitor uses electroencephalogram quantification to provide a sedation depth index, which is crucial for adjusting anesthesia levels based on individual patient needs. The study focuses on children, a population at higher risk for complications related to anesthesia.
