Maternal Voice on Anesthetic Emergence Period

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Anesthesia, General
Interventions
Procedure: recorded maternal voice
Procedure: recorded stranger's voice
Registration Number
NCT02860377
Lead Sponsor
Daegu Catholic University Medical Center
Brief Summary

Mother spend a large amount of time with their children. It is assumed that mother contributes to their neurological development not only with visual stimuli, but also with auditory stimuli. A recent study revealed that prefrontal cortex can be activated in response to the self-name being spoken by the mother than by a stranger. Therefore, investigators suppose that recorded maternal voice can stimulate the pediatric patients and thereby fasten the emergence from general anesthesia.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Emergence timeDuring 1 hour after operation

time from discontinuation of anesthetics to extubation

Incidence of emergence delirium (ED)During 30 minutes after PACU admission

The incidence of emergence delirium (ED) was defined as pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) score of \>12 or Watcha scale over 3.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
BIS over 60During 1 hour after operation

At the end of operation, investigators stop the anesthetics and carefully watch the bispectral index (BIS) monitor. Simultaneously, investigators check the duration of time from discontinuation of anesthetics until the BIS \>60.

peak Watcha scaleDuring 30 minutes after PACU admission

The Watcha scale is a four-point as followings.

1. calm

2. crying, but can be consoled

3. Crying, cannot be consoled

4. Agitated and thrashing around

eye opening or purposeful movement timeDuring 1 hour after operation

time from discontinuation of anesthetics to spontaneous eye opening

peak PAED scaleDuring 30 minutes after PACU admission

The PAED scale is a validated observational measure of 5 aspects of child behavior (caregiver eye contact, purposeful movement, evidence of awareness of surroundings, restlessness, and inconsolability). Ratings are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 20; greater scores indicate greater severity.
