μ‐Opioid agonists for preventing emergence agitation under sevoflurane anesthesia in children: a meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract: This meta-analysis suggested that prophylactic μ-opioid agonists fentanyl, remifentanil, sufentanil, and alfentanil could significantly decrease the incidence of EA under sevoflurane anesthesia in children compared to placebo. Considering the limitations of the included studies, more clinical studies are required.

“…It is encountered in up to 80% of children receiving inhalational anesthetics . It has been suggested that the altered cognitive perception typical of EA might be related to rapid recovery from sevoflurane and desflurane anesthesia . Agitation during recovery is associated with many risks, including self‐inflicted injury to the pediatric patient or the surgical site .…”

“…1 It has been suggested that the altered cognitive perception typical of EA might be related to rapid recovery from sevoflurane and desflurane anesthesia. 2 Agitation during recovery is associated with many risks, including self-inflicted injury to the pediatric patient or the surgical site. 3 Agitation events prolong recovery, extend discharge time, and contribute to unexpected readmission and increased costs, which are major problems that continue to be undertreated in pediatric patients.…”

“…12 µ-opioid agonists were found effective in decreasing the incidence of EA under sevoflurane anesthesia but postoperativenausea and vomiting were increased. 13 In a study by Fang et al, the efficacy of midazolam, dexmedetomidine, ketamine, fentanyl, and propofol were compared for the prevention of sevoflurane-related EA in children with placebo. They found that all of these agents have decreased the incidence of EA but dexmedetomidine was considered the most effective agent in their study.…”

“…Furthermore, intranasal DEX (1 µg/kg) and midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) were demonstrated to be equally effective in decreasing anxiety at parental separation; however, midazolam was superior in terms of providing satisfactory conditions during mask induction (29). A study by Tan et al (30) revealed that intraoperative continuous infusion of low-dose DEX (0.2 µg/kg/h) was able to reduce EA following desflurane anesthesia without hemodynamic compromise or delayed awakening in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery.…”
