Clinical research on airway intervention before tracheal extubation after general anesthesia on snoring children
1Department of Anesthesiology, Cangzhou Central Hospital, Yunhe District, Cangzhou, Hebei, P.R. China. 15103178181@139.com.
Objective:
To analyze the method and the effect of airway intervention before tracheal extubation in post-anesthesia cure unit (PACU) after anesthesia when removing the tonsil under general anesthesia and adenoidectomy under nasal endoscope on children with snoring.
Patients And Methods:
46 cases diagnosed as snoring were executively selected in this study. The cases were randomly divided into the control group (n = 22) and the observation group (n = 24). For airway intervention after general anesthesia during the recovery period, the control group was treated with intravenous injection of 0.5 μg/kg remifentanil, whereas the observation group was treated with atomization inhalation of 15 mg ambroxol hydrochloride and 0.5 mg budesonide suspension.
Results:
The clinical effects of both methods were compared and analyzed for statistical analysis. The blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation at 30 min and 10 min after extubation in the control group was significantly more stable than those in the observation group (p < 0.05). The alertness/sedation (OAA/S) score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The prevalence rate of complications after extubation in the two groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The levels of serum cortisol (Cor) and IL-8 in the control group were significantly lower than those in the observation group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Both methods are effective for treatment of airway intervention concerned with snoring children after general anesthesia during the recovery period. The effect of remifentanil on hemodynamics is relatively huge compared with that of atomization inhalation.
