Propofol-Ketamine vs Sevoflurane for anesthesia in kids undergoing heart catheterization

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 randomized, interventional study assigns pediatric patients weighing 10–30 kg and ASA I–III to receive either IV propofol-ketamine or inhaled sevoflurane to achieve adequate anesthesia during cardiac catheterization. Anesthesia depth is guided by continuous infusion of propofol and ketamine or by a sevoflurane MAC target, with the time to loss of consciousness recorded. After the procedure, metrics such as time to LMA removal, recovery duration, and emergence delirium at multiple time points in recovery are collected, with delirium treated if appropriate.
