简要总结
Adeno-tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries in children. The most common complication associated is postoperative pain. If not well controlled, especially in preschool children, it can lead to a longer recovery period, delayed discharge, and nutritional deficiencies resulting in dehydration. These factors will increase hospitalization period and the need for intravenous fluids.
For this purpose, a large number of studies has been designed to evaluate the analgesic effects of various drugs during the perioperative period. Opioids are associated with sedation and respiratory depression, NSAIDs increase the risk of reoperation for bleeding while local anesthetics may cause vasoconstriction of the operation site.
For several years, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors antagonists, such as ketamine and magnesium, have been used successfully to decrease postoperative pain and analgesic requirements in adult patients undergoing a number of different procedures. Ketamine reduces the needed analgesia after tonsillectomy. Most studies have shown that ketamine administration has no side effects such as hemodynamic, respiratory complications and airway problems.
Magnesium is a physiological antagonist of the NMDA receptor ion channel that plays a key role in central sensitization. Many studies have investigated the effect of magnesium sulphate on postoperative pain and opioid consumption. However, results of those studies were variable. Whereas most studies describe the reduction of postoperative analgesic requirements after magnesium sulfate, a few studies show insignificant beneficial effects.
A previous study evaluated the effect of low dose ketamine (0.15 mg/kg) and magnesium sulfate (30 mg/kg) on post tonsillectomy pain in children, which did not demonstrate a decrease in pain or analgesic consumption in children undergoing tonsillectomy. In this study, the investigators will increase the dose of ketamine to (0.5 mg/kg) and magnesium sulfate to (40 mg/kg) to evaluate their effect on postoperative pain in pediatric patients undergoing adeno-tonsillectomy.

研究组 & 干预措施
Ketamine group
After preoperative assessment, participants will receive IM midazolam (0.1 mg/kg) and atropine (0.02 mg/kg) 30 min. before surgery as premedication.
Inhalation induction of GA will be done using 8% sevoflurane in 100% oxygen. After insertion of a peripheral IV cannula, IV fentanyl 1 mcg/kg and atracurium 0.5 mg/kg will be given. Direct laryngoscopy will be attempted to insert an age-appropriate cuffed ETT.
Patients will be maintained on controlled mechanical ventilation with a mixture of isoflurane in 60% oxygen in air, using a tidal volume of 8cc/kg and a frequency of 16-20 cycle/min. to maintain an ETCO2 35-40 mmHg and to keep an ET isoflurane concentration of 1.5-2%. All patients will receive 10 ml/kg of IV Ringer's solution in the operating room. A single dose of paracetamol 15 mg/kg IV drip will be administered for all patients once they arrive at the PACU.
Patients will receive IV ketamine hydrochloride in a dose of 0.5 mg/kg.
干预措施: Ketamine hydrochloride (Drug)

结局指标
主要结局
The postoperative pain score
时间窗: 6 hours after surgery
The postoperative pain score after adeno-tonsillectomy using modified Children's Hospital Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS). It is a behavioral scale that includes 6 categories (each has a score from 0 to 2): cry, facial, verbal, torso, legs and touch (with a total score range from 0 to 12). Higher scores mean worse outcome (higher pain intensity).
次要结局
- Heart rate(before induction of anesthesia, 1 minute before intubation, 1 minute after intubation, every 10 min intraoperatively, 1 minute before extubation, at admission to post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), 15 and 30 min after PACU admission)
- Postoperative nausea and vomiting in the PACU(1 hour after end of surgery)
- Extubation time(time from discontinuation of volatile anesthetic agent till patient extubation when fully awake, 30 minutes after end of surgery)
- Recovery time(1 hour after end of surgery)
- Mean arterial blood pressure(before induction of anesthesia, 1 minute before intubation, 1 minute after intubation, every 10 min intraoperatively, 1 minute before extubation, at admission to post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), 15 and 30 min after PACU admission)
