About this study

Official title: A Study on Early Sucking of Lollipops in Preschool Children After Adenotonsillectomy:a Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to observe the consumption effect of early lollipop sucking in preschool children after adenotonsillectomy through clinical experiments, and to explore the impact of early postoperative lollipop consumption on postoperative agitation, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and postoperative wound recovery rate.

Participants will be randomly allocated to two groups:a lollipop sucking group (Group A) and a control group (Group B), Two groups of children were sent to the recovery room (PACU) for observation after extubation . Group A patients were given lollipops for sucking after waking up, while Group B received routine nursing treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore whether lollipops have advantages in early postoperative feeding and alleviating postoperative agitation in children, and to provide reliable clinical evidence for the consumption of lollipops after surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative 1 minute-5hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Spo2

    Spo2 will be continuous monitoring and recorded during the time of the recovery room
