About this study

Official title: The Effect of Remifentanil Infusion During Emergence on the Incidence of Emergence Delirium After Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Pediatric Strabismus Surgery

The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of postoperative remifentanil infusion on the incidence of emergence agitation in preschool-aged children undergoing strabismus surgery with sevoflurane anaesthesia.

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Anesthesia is maintained with sevoflurane and remifentanil infusion. All patients received a predetermined concentrations of remifentanil according to their group assignments (control group, remifentanil 0 ug/kg/min; remifentanil group, remifentanil 0.05 ug/kg/min) from 10 minutes before the end of surgery to discharge from postanesthetic care unit. emergence agitation is assessed during the emergence phase.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the scale of emergence agitation

    A blinded observer record emergence agitation at just after laryngeal mask removal, 5 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, 10 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, 15 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, 30 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, and 30 minutes after discharge from postanesthetic care unit.

    Measured: up to 30 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, and 30 minutes after discharge from postanesthetic care unit.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the effect of remifentanil on the emergence

    A blinded observer record duration of anaesthesia, eye-opening time, time to remove laryngeal mask airway, respiratory depression, nausea, and vomiting at the end of surgery, 5 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, 10 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, 15 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, 30 minutes after arrival in postanesthetic care unit, and 30 minutes after discharge from postanesthetic care unit.

    Measured: up to 30 minutes after the discharge form postanesthetic care unit
