Effect of single dose dexamethasone on variation in Blood Glucose level in pediatric hypospadias surgery: A Prospective Randomised controlled study in department of Anesthesia, SMS Medical college, Jaipur
- Conditions
- Hypospadias, unspecified,
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2023/10/058560
- Lead Sponsor
- Sawai Man Singh Medical College
- Brief Summary
After obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval and written informed consent, 72 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria and undergoing elective surgery for hypospadias will be included.
Patient satisfying inclusion criteria and Pre anesthetic check up(PAC) fitness will be selected and taken into OT. Patient will be identified and informed written consent will be checked. Randomization will be done using opaque sealed envelope method. All monitors will be attached and baseline vitals will be recorded. Baseline blood sugar will be recorded and Glycopyrrolate(5ug/kg) Midazolam (0.05mg/kg) and Fentanyl (2ug/kg) will be administered to the patient via already secured I.V. line. Induction of the patient will be done using I.V. propofol 2mg/kg and I.V. atracurium(0.5mg/kg) to facilitate endotracheal intubation to secure airway in every patient. Now, Group A will be administered single dose of dexamethasone(0.15mg/kg) and Group B will be given saline through prefilled 5ml syringes that the anesthesiologist administering will not know about because of the blinding process. Post that, the patient will be put to left lateral position and under all aspetic preacautions ,painting and draping will be done at and around the caudal block site, and caudal block will be administered to the patient using ropivacaine (0.2%) in dose 0.5 ml/kg. Blood glucose will be recorded 2 hours after administering dexamethasone. Maintainence of anesthesia will be done by oxygen, nitrous oxide and sevoflurane. At the end of surgery, all the anesthetic agents will be discontinued and patient will be taken on 100% oxygen. Reversal of neuromuscular block will be done by I.V. neostigmine(0.05 mg/kg) and I.V. Glycopyrrolate (0.01mg/kg). On regain of adequate muscle power ,extubation will be done and the patient will be shifted to recovery room.
Post surgery ,patient will be assessed at regular time points for post-operative pain (using FLACC score), nausea,vomiting,fever,surgical site infection. Fasting blood sugar and post-prandial blood sugar will be recorded upto 72 hours of post-operative period.
