Postoperative Pain After Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy With Ketorolac or Ibuprofen

This prospective observational study will evaluate postoperative pain after outpatient pediatric adenotonsillectomy in adolescents prescribed either acetaminophen with ibuprofen or acetaminophen with oral ketorolac after discharge, based on the prescribing preference of the otolaryngology surgeon. Participants will complete text-message surveys after discharge to assess pain severity, medication administration, and functional recovery for up to 14 days.

Timing Of Midazolam İn Children Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy: Effects On Stress, Cortisol, And Recovery

This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the optimal timing of midazolam administration in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy. The study will be conducted at the Departments of Otorhinolaryngology and Anesthesiology of Erzurum City Hospital. Midazolam is commonly used in pediatric patients to reduce anxiety and improve perioperative comfort. However, the optimal timing of its administration (before surgery or during anesthesia induction) remains unclear. This study aims to compare the effects of preoperative oral midazolam and intraoperative intravenous midazolam on stress response, behavioral outcomes, and recovery quality. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In Group A, children will receive oral midazolam (0.5 mg/kg) 30 minutes before surgery. In Group B, children will receive intravenous midazolam (0.05-0.1 mg/kg) during anesthesia induction. The primary outcome of the study is the change in serum cortisol levels, which reflects the physiological stress response. Blood samples will be collected twice: once 10 minutes after anesthesia induction and once 15 minutes after surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit. In addition to cortisol levels, the study will assess preoperative anxiety using an observational anxiety scale, postoperative pain using a behavioral pain scoring system, and parental satisfaction using a standardized questionnaire. These measures aim to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the child's perioperative experience. The findings of this study may help determine the most effective timing of midazolam administration to reduce stress, improve recovery, and enhance overall patient and family satisfaction in pediatric surgical care.

Intranasal Dexmedetomidine-esketamine Administration and Postoperative Pain in Pediatric Patients

Postoperative pain after adenoid and tonsil surgery is significant, with approximately 75% of pediatric patients experiencing severe postoperative pain. Currently, there is a lack of clinical strategies to safely and effectively manage postoperative pain in children undergoing adenoid and tonsil surgery. Dexmedetomidine and esketamine can achieve appropriate sedation levels and alleviate postoperative pain when used in children. Both drugs can be administered intranasally, and their pharmacological effects complement each other, reducing side effects. This study aims to investigate whether intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine-esketamine combination can improve postoperative analgesia in children undergoing adenoid and tonsil surgery.

Fentanyl Versus Opioid Free Multimodal Analgesia for Perioperative Pain Control in Children With Mild to Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Emphasize that the usage of multimodal analgesia in managing perioperative pain in children with mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea undergoing adenotonsillectomy may achieve the same efficacy of fentanyl with less respiratory complications and less opioid-related side effects.

A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis of Postoperative Respiratory Complications in Children With Obstructive Sleepapnea

This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate postoperative respiratory complications (PORC) after (adeno)tonsillectomy in children with OSA. In order to increase the number of patients available for analysis, we will merge data collected at UZA with data collected at the the Department of Sleep Laboratory and Sleep Surgery at the Heim Pal National Pediatric Institute, Hungary. These colleagues performed an identical prospective data collection.

Comparison of Ciprofol and Propofol Under IoC1 and IoC2 Monitoring for Adenotonsillectomy

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the Ciprofol and Propofol Under IoC1 and IoC2 Monitoring for Adenotonsillectomy Participants will be randomly allocated to two groups: Ciprofol group (Group C) and Propofol group (Group P). For those in Group C: they will be given ciprofol during anesthesia induction and maintenance .For those in Group P: they will be pgiven ciprofol during anesthesia induction and maintenanc This study evaluates ciprofol versus propofol under IoC1/IoC2 guidance in pediatric T\&A, providing evidence for ciprofol's efficacy and safety in pediatric anesthesia.

Dexmedetomidine as Adjuvant for Suprazygomatic Maxillary Nerve Block in Children's Adenotonsillectomy

The goal of this clinic trial is to evaluate the impact of dexmedetomidine as an adjunct pain pain medication on opioid-free recovery in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy with Suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block (SZMB). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does SZMB with the local anesthetic ropivacaine and the adjuvant dexmedetomidine result in less pain * Is dexmedetomidine associated with an improved quality of recovery at home Researchers will compare pain in participants given an SZMB with ropivacaine and an adjuvant dexmedetomidine, participants given SZMB with ropivacaine only, and a SZMB with ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine given intravenously. Participants will: * Be given the SZMB during the surgery. * Be evaluated after surgery to measure their opioid consumption, pain severity, level of agitation, and level of delirium * Complete a daily questionnaire for 7 days after surgery on the patients pain and recovery
