The effect of premedication with budesonide aerosol inhalation on the incidence of respiratory adverse events during anesthesia recovery period in pediatric patients

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to investigate the influence of premedication with budesonide aerosol inhalation on the incidence of respiratory adverse events during anesthesia recovery period in pediatric patients. Method: 120 pediatric patients underwent elective surgery of inguinal hernia repair were enrolled in the study. They were given two different types of anesthesia, group A received general anesthesia with the Laryngeal Mask (LMA), and group B were treated with budesonide aerosol inhalation preoperatively before general anesthesia with LMA. The incidence of adverse events which included laryngospasm, respiratory tract infection, the length of Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) staying, the volume of throat secretions and hoarseness were monitored closely. Results: Compared with group A, group B had a lower incidence of respiratory adverse events. Conclusion: Preoperative budesonide aerosol inhalation could reduce the incidence of respiratory adverse events during the anesthesia recovery period in children.

Clinical application of a connection device consisting of a bag valve mask and nebulizer in first aid: Two case reports

“…4A, special atomizer for the anesthesia machine), the following procedure was performed: The balloon of the BVM was removed from the custom-made high-flow nebulizer used in case 1, the duckbill valve head was inserted into the intake end of the anesthesia machine, and 2 ml budesonide suspension was added into the nebulizer for atomization to reduce airway edema and inflammation (Fig. 4B) (7). After 5 min, the laryngeal sounds completely disappeared and the treatment effect was satisfactory.…”

Use of Preoperative Inhaled Budesonide to Reduce Postoperative Sorethroat Incidence after Endotracheal Intubation

“…Although they are not major complications and are usually self-limiting, but they affect the satisfaction of patients to a significant extent. [4][5][6] Hoarseness of voice and cough are symptoms very often associated with POST. Use of large sized endotracheal tubes and laryngeal trauma during intubation is the common causes.…”
