Study Summary
The primary purpose of the GAS study is to determine whether different types of anesthesia (Regional versus General) given to 720 infants undergoing inguinal hernia repair results in equivalent neurodevelopmental outcomes. The study also aims to describe the incidence of apnea in the post-operative period after both regional and general anesthesia for inguinal hernia repair in infants. This study is important as it will provide the greatest evidence for safety or toxicity of general anesthesia for human infants.
Interventions
- DRUG Regional Anesthesia
