ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo evaluate effects of post-operative analgesia combined with parental presence on emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in children. Methods60 patients were randomly assigned into three groups with 20 cases each. After sevoflurane inhalation and being given rocuronium, all patients were intubated for mechanical ventilation. Then patients received caudal block. Patiens in group A and B were treated with diclofenac sodium suppositories before operation. To maintain anesthesia patients were adopted sevoflurane inhalation. Patients in group A and C were cared by nurses in post anesthesia care unit, whereas patients in group B added parental presence. Emergence agitation incidence, modified Aldrete scale, PAEDS, CHEOPS were all recorded. ResultsTherewas no difference of modified Aldrete scale among three groups( F =0.652 ,P ＞0. 05) ,but emergence agitation incidence in group C was more than those of group A and B. At each point PAEDS scores of group B were lower than those of group C( x2 =4. 566,7. 234,4. 124,6. 126, P ＜ 0. 05) ,also scores of group B were lower than those of group A at 10 min and 30 min(F=0.654,P＞0.05). PAEDS scores of group A were lower than those of group C at 20min and 30min(t =3.256,3.778,4.556,4.223 ,all P＜0.05). At 20min and 30min CHEOPS scores of group C were higher than those of group A and B ( F =1. 987, P ＞ 0.05 ). ConclusionPost-operative analgesia combined with parental presence could decrease the incidence of emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in children.
