Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Healthcare Research

Background:

  • Tonsillectomy is a common otolaryngologic procedure with rare complications.
  • Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage is a significant concern for pediatric patients.
  • Parental understanding of post-tonsillectomy complications is crucial for recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate parental perception of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage.
  • To identify factors contributing to the development of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive cross-sectional study surveyed parents of children who underwent tonsillectomy.
  • Data collected via online questionnaire included demographics, surgical details, and complications.
  • The study assessed parental awareness and reported post-surgical bleeding events.

Main Results:

  • Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage occurred in 5.5% of children, with 44.7% of bleeds happening after 24 hours.
  • Common complications included headaches, nausea, swelling, and infection.
  • A significant portion of parents had postgraduate degrees, indicating a generally educated respondent pool.

Conclusions:

  • A notable rate of tonsillectomy-associated bleeding was observed.
  • Deficiencies were identified in healthcare staff's pre-surgical assessment and parental education on complications.
  • Improved pre-operative counseling for parents is recommended to address hemorrhage risks.
