- Brief Summary
No doubt that children facing surgical procedures are subjected to perioperative distressing, anxious and worrying periods. Several factors included; parental deprivation, anxiety, previously mismanaged experience and anticipating pain from the procedure itself weather diagnostic or curative. Anaesthetic goals should focus at alleviating these unfavorable events that may exacerbate the inevitable associated neurohormal stress response with its injurious effects on the course of the procedure. Moreover, it likely to extend beyond the surgical procedure predisposing these vulnerable group of patients to psychological trauma and chronic behavioral changes.
Bone marrow aspiration (BMA) is a frequent procedure that necessitate a meticulous anaesthetic plane that entails rapid non-traumatic induction together with adequate pain free maintenance and instant smooth recovery after a short time practice. Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) had emerged as alternative anaesthetic technique to inhalational anaesthesia for conscious sedation in BMA cited by many authors.
Propofol a popular anaesthetic/ sedative with a rapid onset, short duration and smooth recovery of consciousness and psychomotor functions with no cumulation. However it is poorly analgesic, depresses respiration and there is a possibility of loss of muscle tone leading to airway obstruction .
Dexmedetomidine is a greatly active α2 adrenergic agonist with a valuable anaesthetic- analgesic saving effects. It augments sedation, hypnosis and preservation of muscle tone with negligible respiratory depression and hemodynamic derangements.
The purpose of the current study is to compare between effects of TIVA using propofol or dexmedetomedine versus sevoflurane for maintenance of anaesthesia in children undergoing bone marrow aspiration.
- Detailed Description
Background: although bone marrow aspiration in children is a familiar short duration procedure, nearly 65% of patients develop sever anxiety that may extend more beyond, up to chronic postoperative behavioral changes. Consequently, the objectives of any related anaesthetic technique is to afford smooth non-traumatic induction with safe maintenance and rapid recovery. The rational of the present study is to compare between TIVA using propofol or dexmedetomedine and sevoflurane for maintenance of anaesthesia in children scheduled for bone marrow aspiration.
Patients and methods: 60 child aged 3-12 years with ASA physical status I and II planned for elective bone marrow biopsy and aspiration were enrolled randomly into 3 groups 20 child each; group(S): received sevoflurane- oxygen for induction and sevoflurane with fentanyl infusion for maintenance of anaesthesia. Group (P): received propofol for induction followed by propofol-fentanyl infusions for maintenance of anaesthesia. Group (D): received dexmedetomedine infusion for induction followed by dexmedetomedine-fentanyl infusions for maintenance of anaesthesia. The primary endpoint was postoperative sedation score on arrival to the post anaesthetic care unit (PACU) after surgery. Secondary outcomes included procedure duration, hemodynamic variables, parents and surgeons satisfaction and incidences of any adverse events.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method sedation score immediately postoperative indicator for post operative alertness, . Sedation level: Agitated = 4, Awake= 3, Drowsy= 2, Asleep= 1. A sedation score of 3 \& above was considered as unsatisfactory while 1 \& 2 is considered to be satisfactory.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
