An interventional study of normal saline and ropivacaine in Tonsillitis, sponsored by Ajou University School of Medicine. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 3 Years to 6 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-07-28.
Sponsored by Ajou University School of Medicine · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Emergence agitation (EA) is highly prevalent in children after surgery. Risk factors for EA are Eye, nose and throat (ENT) surgery, preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain. There are several preventive strategies but none of them completely prevent EA.
Topical application of ropivacaine can reduce post-tonsillectomy pain. Therefore, it might reduce the incidence of postoperative EA.
104 studies on the registry are indexed under Tonsillitis; 12 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 84 is below the median of 100 across 89 interventional studies indexed under Tonsillitis.
