Clinical Trial Description

According to literature review, the incidence of sputum sputum in children is about 38.8% (Reference 1), and the incidence of sputum sputum in the placebo group is 38%, assuming a class of error probability α = 0.05, test efficiency 1-β=0.8, considering folic acid supplementation for 7 days can reduce the incidence of sputum to 23%. A chi-square test is proposed to assess whether there is a difference in the incidence of sputum between groups. Calculated by PASS software, the sample size was 300. Considering the 5% drop rate, a total of 316 inpatients with head and neck and maxillofacial surgery were included, divided into 2 groups, 158 cases in each group.

The PAED score was scored every 10 minutes during the recovery of the child, at the time of extubation, and within 30 minutes after extubation (total score 0-20, score ≥10 is defined as the recovery period).

8.2 secondary observation indicators:

1. Changes in induction of anesthesia, intubation, and central rate (HR) and mean blood pressure (MBP);

2. HR and MBP changes in the resuscitation chamber (T1), 5 min (T2) before extubation, T3 at extubation, and 2 min (T4) after extubation;

3. extubation time and wake-up time;

4. Postoperative Ramsay sedation scores were performed every 10 minutes during recovery, at the time of extubation, and within 30 minutes after extubation;

5. Postoperative pain CHEOPs scores were taken every 10 minutes during extubation and 30 min after extubation (the total score was less than 6 points and no pain was observed, and ≥10 points were treated with corresponding analgesia);

6. The use of anesthetic drugs (eg, pentazocine, propofol);

7. Changes of serum IL-6, TNF-α and folic acid concentrations before and after surgery.

8. Other adverse events during the recovery period (eg nausea and vomiting, bronchospasm, respiratory depression, etc.) ;
