Brief summary

Since the 1970s, ketamine has been used in clinical anesthesia treatment. Compared with ketamine, esketamine has a higher clearance rate, so it has a shorter recovery time after anesthesia. This feature also makes ketamine more suitable for pediatric dental patients.The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the efficacy of esketamine sedation and fentanyl sedation in pediatric dental patients

Interventions

DRUGFentanyl

The fentanyl group was prepared by 1ug/kg fentanyl in 5ml normal saline, assembled with 5ml injection, labeled as Anesthesia inducer.

DRUGEsketamine

The esketamine group was prepared by 0.5mg/kg esketamine in 5ml normal saline, assembled with 5ml injection, labeled as Anesthesia inducer.

DRUGMidazolam

Midazolam 0.05mg/kg+ Anesthesia inducer was applied to all patients for procedural induction by intravenous injection. According to the MOAA/S score of the patients, midazolam could be added 0.5mg per time at more than 2 minutes until the MOAA/S score reached 3, the maximum infusion dose of midazolam was less than 10mg and less than 0.1mg/kg.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
HypoxemiaDay 0The incidence of intraoperative hypoxemia (Spo2\<92%)
Midazolam useDay 0The total use of midazolam

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Agitation and deliriumDay 0The incidence of agitation and delirium during and after operation
Circulatory fluctuationDay 0Occurrence of hypertension, hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia and other side effects
Propofol requiringDay 0Incidence of sedation requiring propofol
Time of successful sedationDay 0The time when the MOAA/S score was equal to 3 points for the first time after patients were given anesthetic inducer
MOAA/S score in recovery roomDay 0MOAA/S score of patients every 15 minutes after entering the recovery room
Successful sedationDay 0Success rate of sedation
Directional force recovery timeDay 0Recovery time of directional force
Recall of intraoperative eventsDay 0The child's recall of intraoperative events
Treatment comfort scoreDay 0Patients' satisfaction score of treatment comfort. This score is from 0 to 10, the higher of the score means the more comfortable of the treatment patients received.
The incidence of complicationsDay 1The incidence of patients suffered from pain, drowsiness, vomiting, nausea, mental emotion,within 1 day after treatment
Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) of pain in recovery roomDay 0Evaluate patients' VAS of pain every 15 minutes after entering the recovery room. This scale is from 0 to 10, the higher of the scale means the more painful patients feel.
The time for Modified Observer Assessment of Sedation Score(MOAA/S)>4Day 0The time for MOAA/S score to be greater than 4 since the end of clinical operation and the cessation of anesthetic infusion. MOAA/S is from 0 to 5, the higher of the score means the less sedative condition.
Respiratory depressionDay 0Incidence of intraoperative respiratory depression and the need for airway support such as mandibular dragging
