Tokyo, Feb. 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000060331) titled 'Exploring the Frequency and Causal Factors of Intraoral Moisture During Anesthesia Induction in Pediatric Elective Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study Using a Video Laryngoscope' on Feb. 1.
Study Type:
Observational
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - Nagasaki University
Condition:
Condition - Pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - Oral secretions during anesthetic induction can impair laryngoscopic visibility and may contribute to prolonged intubation time and increased attempts. Children tend to have more oral secretions at baseline, which can further increase with crying; moreover, video laryngoscopes can lose the view when the lens is obscured by secretions, making secretion control particularly important given children's limited oxygen reserve. Routine anticholinergic premedication has become less common, yet evidence evaluating oral wet conditions in pediatric induction remains limited.
Basic objectives2 - Others
