Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on emergence agitation (EA) following sevoflurane anesthesia in children with cerebral palsy.Methods Fifty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ children with cerebral palsy of both sexes,aged 2-12 yr,scheduled for elective muscle strength muscle tension adjustment method,were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n =25 each):control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of sufentanil 0.3 μg/kg,cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg,and propofol 1.5 mg/kg.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was intravenously infused over 15 min after induction of anesthesia in group D and the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.The operation was begun at the end of administration.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of 2％-4％ sevoflurane and the concentration was adjusted to achieve a target BIS value of 45-60.The heart rate,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were recorded before infusion of dexmedetomidine (T1) and at skin incision (T2).The extubation time,emergence time and consumption of sevoflurane were also recorded.The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was recorded at T1,T2,and the end of operation (T3).The adverse cardiovascular events and occurrence of EA were also recorded.The degree of EA was assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale.The peripheral venous blood samples were collected at T1,T2,T3 and extubation (T4) for determination of the blood glucose level and serum cortisol concentration.Compared with group C,the emergence time and extubation time were significantly shortened,and the consumption of sevoflurane,end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations at T2 and T3,PAED scores,incidence of agitation,and the blood glucose level and serum cortisol concentration at T4 were significantly decreased in group D (P ＜0.05 or 0.01).There was no significant difference in the incidence of bradycardia or heart rate,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at each time point between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can decrease the development and degree of EA following sevoflurane anesthesia in children with cerebral palsy.
