The Effect of Different Dose of Ketamine With Low Dose Rocuronium in Children

Phase 4
Conditions
Inguinal Hernia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02646709
Lead Sponsor
Ajou University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

Rocuronium is suitable for rapid induction within 60-90 seconds and its effect last 24-40 minute after single bolus injection. For outpatient surgery with short operation time, low dose rocuronium is frequently used for rapid recovery at the expense of compromised intubating condition. For better intubating condition, ketamine can be used. However, appropriate dose of ketamine with low dose rocuronium is not established yet. This study, 3 different doses of ketamine with low dose rocuronium will be compared for appropriate intubating condition.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intubation Conditionduring and after intubation, about 2 minute

5 variables will be individually evaluated though 3 point scale (excellent, good, poor). If all variables are graded as excellent, intubation condition will be excellent. If at least 1 variable is poor, it will be reported as poor. Otherwise, it will be reported as good.

1. Laryngoscope easiness

2. Vocal cord position

3. Vocal cord movement

4. Movement of limb

5. Coughing

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
heart rate1. 1 min before induction 2.1 min after ketamine injection 3. 1min after intubation 4. 5 min after intubation 5. 10 min after intubation

heart rate will be recorded.

time for extubationfrom the end of surgery to extubation, within 10 min
emergence agitation (4 points scale)5 min after postanesthesia care unit (PACU) admission

4 points scale

1: calm 2. cry but manageable 3. cry, not manageable 4. excitation

PACU timefrom PACU admission to discharge, about 30 min
severity of vomiting1. 1 min after PACU admission 2. 30 min after PACU admission

severity(0-10)

Analgesic requirements (mg/kg)during PACU stay, about 30 min

if pain score exceed 3, fentanyl will be introduced. The total dose of fentanyl injection will be recorded.

Desaturationduring PACU stay, about 30 min

pulseoximeter will be applied and peripheral oxygen saturation less than 94 will be recorded.

blood pressure1. 1 min before induction 2.1 min after ketamine injection 3. 1min after intubation 4. 5 min after intubation 5. 10 min after intubation

blood pressure will be recorded

frequency of vomiting1. 1 min after PACU admission 2. 30 min after PACU admission
