Study summary

Comparison of preoperative inhaled Budesonide with Salbutamol on the incidence of respiratory adverse effects in children undergoing tonsillectomy

Read the detailed description

Comparison of preoperative inhaled Budesonide with Salbutamol on the incidence of respiratory adverse effects in children undergoing tonsillectomy Adenotosillectomy is routinely performed for children with sleep disordered breathing or recurrent infectious tonsillitis. Although the safety of the pediatric anesthesia is constantly improving, a substantial proportion of children undergoing tonsillectomies experience pre operative respiratory adverse events with a prevalence up to 50% in children with at least one risk factor. Both minor adverse effects such as oxygen desaturation airway, obstruction coughing or wheezing and the major events such as laryngospasm and/ or bronchospasm occur more commonly undergoing tonsillectomy compared with other non airway surgery.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. incidence of preoperative respiratory adverse events.

    Will be the incidence of preoperative respiratory adverse events. events will be reported by the attending an anesthetist or PACU nurse on a dedicated data collection sheet and will be recorded against the phase of anesthesia (induction, maintenance, emergency, or recovery) during which the event occurred

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. frequency of the individual PRAEs

    Will be the frequency of the individual PRAEs, incidence of PRAEs during the induction and recovery periods, recovery time (the time from the end of surgery to discharge from PACU)

    Time frame: 1 year
