Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of routine anesthesia on infant brain oxygen levels. The investigators do not know how anesthesia effects blood flow in the brain of infants during surgery. This study will help the investigators detect possible blood flow changes in the brain for infants undergoing anesthesia. A monitor and sensors (NIRS or near-infrared spectroscopy) which use light to measure oxygen levels in the blood will be used. Sensors will rest on the child's skin and record measurements before, during and after the surgery.
