Effect of ketorolac on the prevention of emergence agitation in children after sevoflurane anesthesia

Abstract: BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of ketorolac on the incidence and severity of emergence agitation in children recovering from sevoflurane anesthesia.MethodsEighty-five children aged 3 to 7 years were randomly assigned to the control group or the ketorolac group (1 mg/kg ketorolac). The children were evaluated by the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale and a four-point agitation scale.ResultsThe median agitation scores did not differ significantly between the two groups… Show more

“…It is suspected that these properties may enhance the hemodynamic stability, hence contributing to risk reduction of EA5152. It is acknowledged that pain relief medicine is able to reduce anesthesia-related EA effectively232953. However, some researchers argued that the use of general analgesic is not effective in reducing the risk of EA54.…”

“…It is widely believed that relieving pain decreases the incidence of EA associated with anesthetic agents such as sevoflurane. Several studies demonstrated that regional block, opioids and NSAIDs decrease the incidence of EA. However, EA often occurs even after adequate pain treatment or after procedures that are not associated with pain …”

“…The high incidence of EA has led many investigators to provide prophylactic treatment, such as propofol, opioid, midazolam, nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), ketamine, 5‐hydroxytryptamin 3 inhibitors, magnesium and regional block . Another choice is to use dexmedetomidine, an α 2 ‐adrenoceptor (α 2 ‐AR) agonist with sedative, analgesic and anxiolytic actions, which has been widely used in pediatric and adult populations .…”

“…The anaesthetic effect of propofol is very strong and its lipid solubility is relatively high, but the time of anaesthesia maintenance is short [14]. Thus, after the operation, the patients regain consciousness more rapidly and their mood is stable [15]. Propofol is mainly used in short clinical operations.…”
