Comparing Oxygen Saturation in Post Anesthesia Care Unit After Different Methods of Pain Relief

Completed

• Conditions: Cryptorchidism

• Registration Number: NCT00435383
• Lead Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Brief Summary

To determine the which method of pain relief is better after current anesthesia care.

Detailed Description

We hypothesized that in children, the current anesthesia care (combined light general anesthesia and caudal analgesia) may decrease incidence of intra and or postoperative de-saturation( SaO2 \< %95), the need of oxygen during child's transport to the PACU and during his stay in the recovery room, compared with children who receive intravenous narcotics for intra and postoperative pain relief.
