Clinical Trial: Carotid Artery Blood Flow, Blood Pressure, and Cardiac Output During Anesthesia in Children Aged 0-5 Years

U.S., Sept. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07847203) titled 'Carotid Artery Blood Flow, Blood Pressure, and Cardiac Output During Anesthesia in Children Aged 0-5 Years' on Sept. 22.

Brief Summary: Blood pressure is routinely monitored during anesthesia in children, but blood pressure alone may not accurately reflect blood flow to vital organs. This is particularly important in infants and young children, in whom normal cardiovascular values vary with age.

The CARFLOW study is a prospective observational study of 100 children aged 0-5 years undergoing anesthesia and surgery. The purpose is to investigate how blood flow in the common carotid artery, measured non-invasively using Doppler ultra...
