Ankyloglossia
Conditions
Brief summary
Several methods have been demonstrated to improve intubating conditions during sevoflurane induction in children. These include opioids, propofol, and addition of neuromuscular blocking agents in pediatric patients. But the study about the comparison of these agents has been uncommon. Frenectomy is common procedure to treat ankyloglossia. It is a short procedure performed under general anesthesia. The investigators aimed to compare intubating conditions among children with propofol, alfentanil or rocuronium after sevoflurane induction.
Interventions
intravenous administration of propofol 2 mg/kg before intubation
DRUGadministration of alfentanil
intravenous administration of alfentanil 14 μg/kg before intubation
DRUGadministration of rocuronium
Intravenous administration of rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg before intubation

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intubating condition | Participants will be followed for the duration of intubation, an expected average of 1 minute. | The investigators will perform the evaluation of intubating condtion through scoring system provided by Viby-Mogensen during intubation procedure. The scoring system is consisted of excellent, good, and poor. |
