Summary

Fentanyl is a commonly used drug for the prevention of emergence agitation and reduction in postoperative pain in children receiving tonsillectomy. However, fentanyl can cause postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), which is a main target side effect that medical staff strives to prevent. However, recent meta-analysis showed that the incidence of PONV may be different depending on the time of administration of fentanyl. However, the research design of patients enrolled in each study, such as the age, the name of the operation, and the method of anesthesia, is not identical. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fentanyl in patients undergoing tonsillectomy with a prospective randomized controlled trial. Secondary outcomes include incidence and severity of emergence agitation and anesthesia recovery time, postanesthesia care unit (PACU) time, side effects.

Conditions

  • Follicular Tonsillitis (Chronic)

Interventions

DRUG

fentanyl at 10-15 min before end of surgery

Label 2 syringe is filled with 1mcg/kg of fentanyl, label 1 syringe is filled with same amount of saline solution. If the surgeon notifies the anesthesiologist 10-15 minutes before the end of the operation, the syringe drug labeled 1 will be administered intravenously(that is, normal saline ). At the end of the surgery, the syringe drug labeled 2 is administered intravenously((that is, 1mcg/kg of fentanyl)

DRUG

fentanyl at end of surgery

Label 2 syringe is filled with 1mcg/kg of fentanyl, label 1 syringe is filled with same amount of saline solution. If the surgeon notifies the anesthesiologist 10-15 minutes before the end of the operation, the syringe drug labeled 1 will be administered intravenously(that is, normal saline ). At the end of the surgery, the syringe drug labeled 2 is administered intravenously((that is, 1mcg/kg of fentanyl)
