NCT ID: NCT05894187 Recruiting - Paediatric Surgery Clinical Trials

The Impact of an Animated Video on Preoperative Anxiety in Children Undergoing Elective Otoplasty

Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled superiority trial to evaluate the effect of viewing an informative animated video a day prior to surgery on preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients scheduled for elective otoplasty. The primary outcome will be modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) score at the time of general anesthesia induction compared between families that were assigned to view the animated video the day before and those that were not. The participants for this study will be children undergoing elective otoplasty at the IWK Health Centre. Those participants randomized to the intervention group will receive a link to a short survey gauging parent anxiety levels. The survey will be followed by a link to an informative animated video which the participants and their families will watch. The control group will be participants assigned not to receive the email link to the informative animated video.

NCT ID: NCT05681871 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Iron Deficiency Anemia

South African Paediatric Surgical Outcomes Study 2

SAPSOS2
Start date: February 9, 2023
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Preoperative anaemia has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes after surgery in both adults and children. Limited research has been done on how common preoperative iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is in children and how best to treat it. Oral iron is a relatively cost-effective treatment for IDA. This study aims to show whether giving children with IDA oral iron for 6-12 weeks before their surgery significantly improves their haemoglobin.
