Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of pain, emergence delirium and the combination of those postoperative negative behaviours during the first 15 minutes after awakening from sevoflurane anesthesia in pre-school children. Additionally this study will evaluate the relationship between emergence delirium and postoperative pain behaviour after adenotonsil surgery.
Emergence delirium (ED) refers to a wide variety of behavioural disturbances that are commonly seen in children following emergence from anesthesia. ED can potentially be dangerous and have serious consequences for the child such as injury, increased pain, and dislodgement of medical devices, often requiring physical restraint or pharmacological control. Witnessing this behaviour can be stressful for parents, which can negatively affect their interaction with the healthcare system, and their relationship with the child, nursing staff and other healthcare providers. The investigators aim to minimize ED to reduce the distress experienced by patients and their parents. This study will compare the recovery profile of sevoflurane with that of propofol remifentanil and their associated incidence of ED. This study should enable us to determine which form of anesthesia is associated with the fewest incidences of ED in children.
Emergence delirium (ED) from general anesthesia posts risk and harm to pediatric population undergo general anesthesia. The purpose of the study is to compare the use of dexmedetomidine versus placebo in reducing the incidence and severity of ED in a pediatric neurosurgical population.
The purpose of the study is to see if a small dose of propofol given intravenously (through a needle into a vein) at the end of anesthesia can make it less likely that children will be agitated as the come out of the anesthetic.
