Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to detect tongue swelling induced by the pressure exerted by tongue depressor; swelling detection was made through tongue surface area measurement using ultrasonography (USG) in pediatric patients who underwent adenoidectomy surgeries.

Detailed Description

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

The tongue is an ideal organ for ultrasonography (USG) evaluation. This study aimed to detect the occurrence of tongue swelling through USG examination and to educate clinicians about the association between subacute tongue swelling and tongue depressor in pediatric patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Study

Patients aged 16 years or younger who were to undergo adenoidectomy surgery were eligible for inclusion in this group. Tongue surface areas were measured twice by submental USG.The first measurements (TSA2) were done immediately after endotracheal intubation but before insertion and placement of the tongue depressor. The second measurements (TSA1) were done after adenoidectomy surgery and after removal of the tongue depressor but just before extubation. The difference between TSA2 and TSA1 (i.e., (TSA2-TSA1) was used to defined the occurrence of tongue swelling.

Ultrasonography imaging

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

This study aimed to measure the tongue surface areas of the patients two times both of study and control groups with ultrasonography imaging to compare the tongue surface areas.

Control

This group included patients aged 16 years or younger who did not need adenoidectomy surgery and any head and neck procedures. Tongue surface areas of the patients were measured twice by submental USG as in the study group. TSA1s were done immediately after endotracheal intubation, and TSA2s were done at the end of the surgical procedure just before extubation. The difference between TSA2 and TSA1 (i.e., (TSA2-TSA1) was used to defined the occurrence of tongue edema.
