NCT ID: NCT00273754 Completed - Clinical trials for Postoperative Complications

The Effect of Caffeine on Postextubation Adverse Respiratory Events in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

OSA
Start date: September 2003
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a research study using caffeine in children who have an obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA means children who stop breathing during their sleep due to obstruction in their airway. The purpose of this study is to determine whether caffeine when given in the vein, will wake children up faster and decrease post-anesthesia airway obstruction, as well as the safety and if the drug agrees with the child compared to a placebo (an inactive or dummy agent).

NCT ID: NCT00251628 Completed - Tonsillectomy Clinical Trials

Home Care Management of Pediatric Pain

Start date: June 2000
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether around-the-clock dosing of pain medication, with or without nurse coaching, increases the effectiveness of pain management (i.e., decreased pain intensity scores with and without swallowing, increased use of pain medication, improved sleep, increased oral intake of fluids, decreased negative behaviors, and the same degree of side effects), over time, compared to standard care with "as needed" dosing.
