Brief Summary

This interventional simple-blind,randomized trial has included 90 children of American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status I or II aged between 1 to 12 years of either sex, scheduled for for outpatient minor surgery under general anesthesia. This study examined whether one should make iv attempts during the early induction period (at 60 seconds) or lately (90 or 120 s) and waiting until the child receives additional sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia.

Detailed Description

We conducted a prospective randomized study, after obtaining Institutional review board approval, which didn't require written parental consent. Children age 1-12 years, undergoing elective general anesthesia via an inhalation induction were randomized to one of three groups of 30 patients each one, for iv placement, either 60s (group E), 90 or 120 s (group L) following loss of lid reflex. Movement on iv placement and incidence of laryngospasm were determined. Difficulty with iv placement was also recorded. Statistical analysis included contingency testing, ANOVA, and non parametric testing. A P-value \<0.05 was considered significant.

Primary Outcome Measures

Success of intravenous insertionfrom the end of study period of time after the loss of eyelash reflex to successful cannulation less than 30 seconds

success insertion of intravenous cannula was achieved at the first attempt less than 30 seconds

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
limb movementfrom the end of study period of time after the loss of eyelash reflex to successful cannulation less than 30 seconds

The movement was classified using the scale:

(0 No movement, 1 movement) The incidence of laryngospasm was defined as the sudden complete or partial loss of air exchange with concurrent loss of a capnographic wave.
