Investigation of the Effects of Passive Smoking on Vital Signs, Motor Activity Levels, and Agitation Severity in Children Undergoing Tooth Extraction With Sedation
Abstract
The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the effects of passive smoking on the vital parameters of children undergoing primary tooth extraction under sedation and to assess their anxiety levels throughout the process until discharge.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Do the vital parameters of children who are passive smokers differ from those of non-passive smokers under sedation?
2. Does the amount of smoking by family members influence the child's vital parameters?
3. Does passive smoking affect recovery and awakening times following sedation?
4. Does passive smoking impact the anxiety levels of children during the period leading up to discharge?
Participans:
* Children aged between 4 and 6 years,
* Children with an ASA score of 1,
* Children with a Frankl score of 4, 5, or 6,
* Children with an indication for primary tooth extraction,
* Parents/guardians who do not use electronic cigarettes.
Conditions: Dental Sedation, Passive Smoking.
Primary outcome: Oxygen saturation level.
Enrollment: 100 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 100 participants or records.
