Low-Dose Dexmedetomidine Reduces Emergence Agitation after Desflurane Anaesthesia in Children Undergoing Strabismus Surgery

Abstract: PurposeEmergence agitation (EA) is frequently observed in children undergoing general anaesthesia. This study tested whether the addition of an intra-operative low-dose infusion of dexmedetomidine to fentanyl treatment reduced the incidence of emergence delirium following desflurane anesthesia in children undergoing strabismus surgery.Materials and MethodsA total of 96 children (1-5 years old) undergoing strabismus surgery were enrolled. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with desflurane. Aft… Show more

“….h À1 has been reported to reduce the incidence of emergence delirium [35][36][37][38], as has a single bolus dose of 0.3 lg.kg À1 dexmedetomidine [39]. Although most studies have been performed in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy or squint surgery, studies in children having MRI scans are particularly useful because they eliminate pain as a confounding factor.…”

“…Ketamine works on the NMDA receptors and helps in establishing local anesthesia hence lowering the pain felt. 19,20 Pre-injection with Ketamine reduces pain from 84% to 26% and also reduced the blood pressure reducing effects as caused by the administration of propofol. 21 The pain felt by the patient after injection of propofol can be immediate or delayed by 10 to 20 seconds.…”

“…As the receptor antagonist for N-methyl-D-aspartate, ketamine allows local anesthesia19 and exerts an analgesic effect at low dose 20. Pre-injection of 10 mg ketamine can reduce the incidence rate of injection pain from 84% to 26% and also partially counteract the blood pressure-reducing effect of propofol 21…”
