Laryngospasm on Emergence clinical trials at UCSF

Laryngospasm on emergence is a condition where a person's vocal cords suddenly close shut after waking up from anesthesia. UCSF is conducting a clinical trial called "Pupillometry as Guide for Extubation Readiness in Anesthetized Children" which uses pupillometry to determine if a child is ready to have the breathing tube removed after surgery. This trial aims to improve the safety and comfort of children coming out of anesthesia.
