COMPLICATIONS RELATED CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN LEVELS IN SECOND HAND SMOKING PEDIATRIC TONSILLECTOMY PATIENTS

• Conditions: Secondhand Smoking

• Registration Number: NCT01942252
• Lead Sponsor: Mustafa Kemal University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine whether high carboxyhemoglobin level is a risk factor for postoperative adverse events in children exposured to carbon monoxide, especially enviromental tobacco smoke.

Detailed Description

Also we want to measure bleeding volume and compare it with the carboxyhemoglobin levels.
