Trial Outcomes & Findings for Methemoglobin Levels in Generally Anesthetized Pediatric Dental Patients Receiving Local Anesthetics (NCT NCT01402869)

NCT ID: NCT01402869

Last Updated: 2014-04-25

Results Overview

The maximum percentage of methemoglobin in blood

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

NA

Target enrollment

91 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Measured at 10 second intervals during dental treatment for an average of 2 hours

Results posted on

Participant Flow

Patients that were greater than 3 years but less than 6 years of age that were scheduled to undergo comprehensive dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia at the Koppel Special Care Dentistry Center at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry were recruited for the study.

Enrolled participants were excluded prior to group assignment if they had a body mass index (BMI) less than the 5th percentile or greater than the 95th percentile for their age and gender.
