ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of two different types of anesthesia—sevoflurane (a gas used during surgery) and intravenous anesthesia (given through a vein)—on children undergoing a specific surgery called hypospadias repair. The main goal is to understand how these anesthetics affect a condition called emergence agitation, which is when patients may feel confused or restless as they wake up from anesthesia. This is important because some children may experience this agitation after surgery, and the trial aims to find out if one type of anesthesia leads to less agitation than the other.

To participate in the trial, children must be between 1 and 8 years old and have a physical status classified as ASA I or II, meaning they are generally healthy. However, children with certain health issues, such as breathing problems or developmental delays, cannot take part in this study. If eligible, participants will receive one of the two types of anesthesia during their hypospadias repair surgery, and the researchers will monitor their recovery to see how they respond. This study is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to help improve the experience of children undergoing similar procedures in the future.
