For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Control | In patients randomised to the control group, sevoflurane will be titrated according to a Minimal Alveolar Concentration (MAC) of 0.9 respectively an end tidal sevoflurane concentration of 2.3% based on standard practice in our paediatric anaesthesia department. | 0 | None | 0 | 44 | 3 | 44 | View |
| Treatment | In patients randomised to the intervention group of the trial, the anaesthetic agent sevoflurane will be titrated according to the typical DSA pattern for general anaesthesia with sevoflurane, provided by the Narcotrend Narcotrend Monitor (MT MonitorTechnik, Hannover, Germany): This trial is designed to investigate the additional value of Density Spectral Array monitoring, on the "speed of emergence" after general anaesthesia. We will compare traditional general anaesthesia with sevoflurane using a MAC value and subjective clinical parameters to the objective and continuous approach using DSA depth of hypnosis. The investigational product is the validated Narcotrend monitor, an electroencephalographic monitor, that is regularly used in anaesthesia practice in the Sophia children's hospital and will be used according to intended purpose. The extended version as used in the operating room in the Sophia Children's hospital offers a diversity of diagrams including Density Spectral Array. The electroencephalographic Narcotrend monitor records frontal EEG-activity. Standard paediatric ECG electrodes are used for EEG registration | 0 | None | 1 | 52 | 0 | 52 | View |
