Abstract

Fentanyl is a commonly used drug for the prevention of emergence agitation and reduction in postoperative pain in children receiving tonsillectomy. However, fentanyl can cause postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), which is a main target side effect that medical staff strives to prevent. However, recent meta-analysis showed that the incidence of PONV may be different depending on the time of administration of fentanyl. However, the research design of patients enrolled in each study, such as the age, the name of the operation, and the method of anesthesia, is not identical. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fentanyl in patients undergoing tonsillectomy with a prospective randomized controlled trial. Secondary outcomes include incidence and severity of emergence agitation and anesthesia recovery time, postanesthesia care unit (PACU) time, side effects.

Condition or disease

Follicular Tonsillitis (Chronic)

Intervention/treatment

Drug: fentanyl at 10-15 min before end of surgery

Drug: fentanyl at end of surgery

Phase

-

Arm Groups

ArmIntervention/treatment
Experimental: fentanyl at 10-15 min before end of surgery
Drug: fentanyl at 10-15 min before end of surgery
Label 2 syringe is filled with 1mcg/kg of fentanyl, label 1 syringe is filled with same amount of saline solution. If the surgeon notifies the anesthesiologist 10-15 minutes before the end of the operation, the syringe drug labeled 1 will be administered intravenously(that is, normal saline ). At the end of the surgery, the syringe drug labeled 2 is administered intravenously((that is, 1mcg/kg of fentanyl)
Active Comparator: fentanyl at end of surgery
Drug: fentanyl at end of surgery
Label 2 syringe is filled with 1mcg/kg of fentanyl, label 1 syringe is filled with same amount of saline solution. If the surgeon notifies the anesthesiologist 10-15 minutes before the end of the operation, the syringe drug labeled 1 will be administered intravenously(that is, normal saline ). At the end of the surgery, the syringe drug labeled 2 is administered intravenously((that is, 1mcg/kg of fentanyl)

Outcome

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting [In 10-minute increments from immediately(less than 3 min) after entering PACU to departure]

Occurrence of nausea and vomiting- Described as yes/no (Observation of medical personnel or Subjective symptoms of the patient by the definition below) Nausea: "feeling of the urge to vomit" vomiting: "retching and any expulsion of liquid gastric contents"

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. PAED scale score: *Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale: range 0-20 points. If the score is more than 12, it is considered to be EA occurrence. [In 10-minute increments from immediately(less than 3 min) after entering PACU to departure]

*Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale: range 0-20 points. If the score is more than 12, it is considered to be EA occurrence.

2. five-step EA scale: *five-step Emergence Agitation scale: range 1-5 score. If the score is 4 or more, it is regarded as EA occurrence. [In 10-minute increments from immediately(less than 3 min) after entering PACU to departure]

*five-step Emergence Agitation scale: range 1-5 score. If the score is 4 or more, it is regarded as EA occurrence.

3. FLACC score FLACC score (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale): range 0-10. If the score is 4 or more, Pain control is considered necessary. [In 10-minute increments from immediately after entering PACU to departure]

4. anesthesia recovery time [up to 1 day after end of surgery]

<1> time until regular respiration is possible after end of surgery , <2>time to extubate after end of surgery, and <3>eye opening time in response to initial verbal command after end of surgery

5. Occurrence of side effect [In 10-minute increments from immediately(less than 3 min) after entering PACU to departure]

airway obstruction, laryngospasm, desaturation, drowsiness, pruritus, hypotension, bradycardia
