Brief summary

This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. To investigate if preoperative using of eye patch will decrease emergence agitation, and to provide a better method of decreasing emergence agitation to pediatric ophthalmic anesthesiologists.

Detailed description

This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. To investigate whether preoperative using of eye patches will decrease emergence agitation or not, and to provide a better method of decreasing emergence agitation to pediatric ophthalmic anesthesiologists. The investigators will recruit 180 children undergoing elective cataract surgery, divided into 2 groups by random method. experimental group will cover the effected eye for 3 hours before the operation, while the control group will not. Then the investigators will observe and mesure the incidence of emergence aditation in each group, to assess whether preoperative patch shading can reduce the incidence of postoperative agitation.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALeye patch

cover the sick eye with eye patch preoperatively for 3 hours

BEHAVIORALnon-eye patch

do not cover the sick eye with eye patch preoperatively

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the Padiatric Anesthesia Emergence Agitation Scaleevery ten minutes postoperatively, up to 1 hour. Start measuring since the end of surgery until the patient back to ward from postanesthesia care unit.measure patients with the pediatric anesthesia emergence agitation scale,the score more than 10 is defined as emergence agitation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
induction compliance checklist1 minute before general anesthesia began.measure patients with induction compliance checklist before anesthesia.
heart rate (HR)every ten minutes postoperatively, up to 1 hour. Start measuring since every ten minutes postoperatively, up to 1 hour. Start measuring since the end of surgery until the patient back to ward from postanesthesia care unit.measure patients' HR when patient arrived at the post operative care unit
respiration rate(RR)every ten minutes postoperatively, up to 1 hour. Start measuring since the end of surgery until the patient back to ward from postanesthesia care unit.measure patients' RR and SpO2 when patient arrived at the post operative care unit
oxygen saturation(SpO2)every ten minutes postoperatively, up to 1 hour. Start measuring since the end of surgery until the patient back to ward from postanesthesia care unit.measure patients' SpO2 when patient arrived at the post operative care unit
incidence rate of emergence agitationevery ten minutes postoperatively, up to 1 hour. Start measuring since the end of surgery until the patient back to ward from postanesthesia care unit.calculate the number of occurrence of emergence agitation
