Sevoflurane causes more postoperative agitation in children than does halothane.

摘要: Background: An agitated recovery may occur after inhalation anesthesia. The aim of the present study was to assess quality mask anesthesia with either halothane or sevoflurane in children. Methods: Sixty-two children, 8 months 18 years age, scheduled for minor surgery, were randomly assigned receive sevoflurane. patients premedicated midazolam and induced iv propofol by maintained N2O/O2 via face mask. Recovery assessed a “blinded” observer using postanesthetic score. Agitation pain judged visual analog scale. incidence vomiting noted. day older children parents younger interviewed about their experience period. Results: There no differences between groups respect weight, length, duration surgery inhalational gas exposure. Median time from end administration agent spontaneous eye opening less (25 min) than (48 min), (P<0.01). Likewise, faster (P<0.05). Agitation, but not pain, occurred more frequently (P<0.05) agitation significantly common children. difference hospital stay day-care two groups. Conclusion: Early halothane. higher without correlation pain.
