Detailed Description
In pediatric surgery, the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events in children undergoing tonsillectomy is higher than that of general surgery. Studies have shown that intravenous induction can reduce perioperative respiratory adverse events compared with inhalation induction. There are also literatures that show that intravenous anesthesia can significantly reduce cough and hemodynamic reactions during the wake period compared with balanced anesthesia.However, inhalation anesthesia is easier to use and can monitor the depth of anesthesia, so it is used more frequently than intravenous anesthesia.The incidence of respiratory adverse events has not been compared between intraoperative sevoflurane maintenance and extubation with a small amount of propofol versus total sevoflurane maintenance and extubation.The objective of this study was to investigate whether propofol can reduce perioperative adverse respiratory events in children undergoing tonsillectomy.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: propofol group Children aged 3 to 8 years who had had their tonsil adenoidectomy were collected. Propofol 3mg/kg, remifentanil 3-5ug /kg and atropine 0.01mg/kg were used for intravenous induction intubation. Sevoflurane was used for intraoperative anesthesia, propartamol 30mg/kg and hydromorphone 5-10ug /kg were used for postoperative analgesia.When sevoflurane was shut down at the end of the operation, oxygen flow was increased to more than 7L/min, and extubation was prepared for spontaneous respiration recovery, propofol was given a small amount of 1~2mg/kg multiple times without inhibition of spontaneous respiration. |
Drug: propofol
Propofol was mainly used in the intervention group during anesthesia extubation. Propofol was given a small amount of times about 1~2mg/kg before extubation when the patient recovered spontaneously.

| Sham Comparator: control group Anesthesia induction is the same as before.At the end of the operation, sevoflurane was shut down and oxygen flow was increased to more than 7L/min. No other treatment was performed during extubation. |
Drug: normal saline
Same dose as propofol.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- respiratory adverse events [From the moment of extubation to the time before entering the resuscitation room, the maximum time is no more than four hours.]
These include six items in total: laryngeal spasm: little or no airflow in jaw support,need mask pressure ventilation or anesthetic relief . bronchospasm:airway pressure increased, tidal volume decreased, and lung auscultation and wheezing were observed, accompanied by decreased oxygen saturation. breath-holding:no breathing time > 5 seconds or more. cough:0 = no cough; 1 point = weak cough; 2 points = strong cough; 3 points = continuous strong cough. low oxygen saturation:less than 92% on oxygen. respiratory obstruction:jaw support is needed for relief.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- extubation time [No more than three hours from the end of the procedure until the tracheal tube was pulled out.]
longer than 15 minutes means longer extubation time.
- Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale [From the moment of extubation to the time before entering the resuscitation room, the maximum time is no more than four hours.]
The score ranges from -5 to +4. A higher score indicates more agitation and a lower score indicates greater calmness. In this study, a score greater than or equal to 1 indicates agitation.
