Recorded Maternal Voice on the Emergence of General Anesthesia on Pediatric Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Anesthesia, General
Interventions
Procedure: recorded maternal voice
Procedure: recorded stranger's voice
Registration Number
NCT02955680
Lead Sponsor
Daegu Catholic University Medical Center
Brief Summary

Mother spend a large amount of time with their children. It is assumed that mother contributes to their neurological development not only with visual stimuli, but also with auditory stimuli. A recent study revealed that prefrontal cortex can be activated in response to the self-name being spoken by the mother than by a stranger. Therefore, investigators suppose that recorded maternal voice can stimulate the pediatric patients and thereby fasten the emergence from general anesthesia.

Group Mrecorded maternal voiceAt the end of surgery, patients were stimulated to wake up by recorded mother's voice, which was recorded before the operation.
Group Srecorded stranger's voiceAt the end of surgery, patients were stimulated to wake up by recorded stranger's voice, which was recorded before the operation.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
initial PAED scoreDuring 1 minutes after PACU admission

On arrival at post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), patients were checked PAED. The PAED scale is a validated observational measure of 5 aspects of child behavior (caregiver eye contact, purposeful movement, evidence of awareness of surroundings, restlessness, and inconsolability). Ratings are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 20; greater scores indicate greater severity.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
BIS over 60During 1 hour after operation

At the end of operation, investigators stop the anesthetics and carefully watch the bispectral index (BIS) monitor. Simultaneously, investigators check the duration of time from discontinuation of anesthetics until the BIS \>60.

Incidence of emergence delirium (ED)During 60 minutes after PACU admission

The incidence of emergence delirium (ED) was defined as pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) score of \>12 or Watcha scale over 3 at PACU.

PAED score on 10, 20, and 30 minDuring 60 minutes after PACU admission

On arrival at post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), patients were checked PAED. The PAED scale is a validated observational measure of 5 aspects of child behavior (caregiver eye contact, purposeful movement, evidence of awareness of surroundings, restlessness, and inconsolability). Ratings are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 20; greater scores indicate greater severity.

Watcha scale on initial, 10, 20, and 30 minDuring 60 minutes after PACU admission

On arrival and 10, 20, and 30 min after PACU admission, patients were checked Watcha scale as following 4-point scale

1. calm

2. crying, but can be consoled

3. Crying, cannot be consoled

4. Agitated and thrashing around

BIS over 70 and 80 timeDuring 1 hour after operation

At the end of operation, investigators stop the anesthetics and carefully watch the bispectral index (BIS) monitor. Simultaneously, investigators check the duration of time from discontinuation of anesthetics until the BIS reached 70 and 80 value.

FLACC score on initial, 10, 20, and 30 minDuring 60 minutes after PACU admission

Face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability (FLACC) score is checked every 10min after PACU admission

Extubation timeDuring 1 hour after operation

time from discontinuation of anesthetics to extubation

mean blood pressureDuring 1 hour after operation

Mean blood pressure (MBP) is checked at five time points; cessation of anesthetics (baseline), the BIS reached value of 60, time of extubation, PACU arrival, and PACU discharge.

Heart rateDuring 1 hour after operation

Heart rate is checked at five time points; cessation of anesthetics (baseline), the BIS reached value of 60, time of extubation, PACU arrival, and PACU discharge.

Eye opening or purposeful movement timeDuring 1 hour after operation

defined as the interval from the cessation of anesthetics to eye opening or purposeful movement of patients
