ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the effects of total intravenous anesthesia(TITA) by using remifentanil combined with propofol and intravenous-inhaled anesthesia by using propofol combined with sevoflurane on emergence agitation(EA) in children undergoing surgery of obstruction sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS). Methods Forty children of 3 to 7 years old scheduled for elective surgery of OSAS were randomly divided into TITA group(group T,n=20) and combined anesthesia group(group C,n=20).Patients in group T were induced with remifentanil 1 ?g/kg,midazolam 0.2 mg/kg,propofol 2.5 mg/kg and rocurolnium 0.6 mg/kg and maintained with remifentanil(0.4-0.5 ?g?kg-1?min-1) and propofol(4-6 mg?kg-1?h-1) until the end of the operation.Patients in group C were induced with midazolam 0.2 mg/kg,propofol 2.5 mg/kg and rocurolnium 0.6 mg/kg and maintained with propofol 4-6 mg?kg-1?h-1 and sevoflurane inhalation(1.2-1.4 MAC) until the end of the operation.EA was evaluated by 5-point scoring scale. Results The score of EA was significantly lower in group T than that in group C(P
