Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sedation score. Timepoint: The observation sedation score is measured before the medication is prescribed (midazolam, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine) and then when the child is separated from the parents. Method of measurement: Determine the sedation score by observing based on scoring from 1 to 5 based on the table from 1 to 5, respectively: agitated, alert, calm, drowsy and asleep.;Ease of separation score. Timepoint: When separating children from their parents. Method of measurement: Determining the ease of separation score by observation based on scoring from 1 to 4 according to the table from 1 to 4, respectively: unafraid and cooperative - slight fear or crying quiet with assurance - moderate fear, crying not quiet with assurance - crying, need for restraint.;Acceptance of drug. Timepoint: When inducing anesthesia inside the operating room. Method of measurement: Children are transported into the operating room and then inhaled anesthesia with a mask is induced in all groups using soufflore gas (4-8%). The acceptance rate of induction of anesthesia is determined based on the scoring of the table. Respectively from 1 to 3: refused to accept - accept with difficulty - accept without complaining.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Side effects (nausea and vomiting, hypotension, bradycardia). Timepoint: In the postoperative period, patients will be monitored and followed for 24 hours for possible side effects. Method of measurement: Nausea and vomiting with observation and examination - Hypotension (low blood pressure more than 20% of primary blood pressure) with arm sphygmomanometer - Bradycardia (heart rate less than 70 beats per minute) with heart monitoring and finger pulse oximetry.;Time to get Aldrete Score 8 and above. Timepoint: One turn (after the end of the operation until reaching the Aldrete score 8 and above). Method of measurement: In minutes from the end of the operation until reaching the Aldrete score of 8 and above In the recovery room according to the table The Modified Aldrete Postanesthesia Score in pediatric.;Mean blood pressure. Timepoint: Under monitoring from 30 minutes before anesthesia, every 5 minutes from the time of sedation until induction of anesthesia, every 15 minutes throughout the operation and in recovery until full awakening, re-measured in case of side effects up to 24 hours after surgery. Method of measurement: arm sphygmomanometer In millimetres of mercury.;Heart rate. Timepoint: Under monitoring from 30 minutes before anesthesia, every 5 minutes from the time of sedation until induction of anesthesia, every 15 minutes throughout the operation and in recovery until full awakening, re-measured in case of side effects up to 24 hours after surgery. Method of measurement: Cardiac monitoring and finger pulse oximetery.;Arterial oxygen saturation. Timepoint: Under monitoring from 30 minutes before anesthesia, every 5 minutes from the time of sedation until induction of anesthesia, every 15 minutes throughout the operation and in recovery until full awakening, re-measured in case of side effects up to 24 hours after surgery. Method of measurement: Finger pulse oximetery.
