Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Propofol with remifentanil provides good operative conditions for pediatric cochlear implant (CI); however, large doses of remifentanil usually result in postoperative hyperalgesia and increase postoperative pain. Local anesthesia (LA) is commonly used as an adjunct to general anesthesia in children; however, otologists are usually reluctant in the use of LA as it can cause abolishment of the electrical stapedial reflex threshold (ESRT).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Seventy children (1-6 years) undergoing CI were recruited. Children were divided into two groups. The LA group received subcutaneous infiltration of 0.5 ml/kg lidocaine 1% in adrenaline 1:200,000 and the CT group received 0.5 ml/kg of Na CI 0.9% in adrenaline 1:200,000. The primary outcome was number of patients requiring rescue analgesia (tramadol) during the first 24-h postoperative. Secondary outcomes were haemodynamic variables, the ESRT, intraoperative anesthetic requirements, time to LMA removal, time to total recovery, pain scores, time to first rescue analgesia and incidence of vomiting.
