About this study

Official title: Median Effective Dose (ED50) of Esketamine Combined With Alfentanil for Children to Inhibit Body Movement During Laser Treatment for Facial Lesion

There is limited research on the combined use of esketamine and alfentanil for anesthesia during facial laser treatment in pediatric patients, and the effective dosage of esketamine for inhibiting body movement remains unclear. We explore the effective dose of esketamine combined with alfentanil for the inhibition of body movement during facial laser treatment in pediatric patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. half effective dose of inhibition of body movement

    Measured: from injection of esketamine to start of laser treatment, in an average of 5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. number of patients with agitation during awake

    Measured: from end of injection of esketamine to 30 minutes after laser treatment, in an average of 60 minutes

  2. number of patients with dizzy during awake

    Measured: from end of injection of esketamine to 30 minutes after laser treatment, in an average of 60 minutes

  3. number of patients with nausea and vomiting during awake

    Measured: from end of injection of esketamine to 30 minutes after laser treatment, in an average of 60 minutes

  4. number of patients with apnea during awake

    Measured: from end of injection of esketamine to 30 minutes after laser treatment, in an average of 60 minutes

  5. satisfaction score of the parents to the anesthesia

    The satisfaction of the parents to the anesthesia will be assessed by visual analogue scale, of which 0 is for extremely not satisfied, 10 is for extremely satisfied

    Measured: from end of laser treatment to discharge from the outpatient unit, in an average of 60 minutes
