| Popis: | This study evaluated the effect of preoperative sleep on the success of conscious sedation. Seventy-six children, from 18 to 61 months of age, participated in this study. Sixty-two children received chloral hydrate (50-60 mg/kg) and hydroxyzine (15-35 mg) and 14 children received intramuscular meperidine hydrochloride (2.2 mg/kg). Parents were asked to complete a questionnaire which asked several questions about their child's activity the previous day, and their bedtime. The operator ranked the sedations on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being good and 4 being poor. The results were statistically evaluated using the Wilcoxon Rank sum test. The children that received a normal amount or greater amount of sleep preoperatively did not show any significantly higher degree of success (p0.26) with their sedation appointment. The parents' perception of their child's tiredness did demonstrate borderline (p0.08) significance. Children greater than 36 months of age had a significantly higher (p0.03) degree of successful sedations. The results of this study demonstrated that there was no clear correlation between the child's preoperative sleep and the outcome of the sedation, but that a tired child may increase the likelihood of a poor sedation. In addition, the child's age at the time of the sedation may affect the outcome of the sedation. |
