Özet
In this study, the effects of sevoflurane and halothane on induction and emergence and were compared. The study enrolled 60 ASA I-II pediatric patients aged between 0-12 years. They received no premedication and were randomized into two groups, one of which received sevoflurane anesthesia (S) and the other halothane anesthesia (H). Each of these volatile anesthetics were adminisrated in 33% oxygen and 67% nitrous-oxide mixture, in increasing doses. When the eye-lash reflex disappeared, the volatile anesthetic concentration was kept constant for four and a half minutes to complete the induction of anesthesia, until the patients were intubated. Following intubation, the volatile anesthetic dose was reduced to 1-1.5 MAC for maintenance. At the end of the surgical procedure, all volatile anesthetics were stopped and 100% oxygen was administrated. During induction, the time between the beginning of the administration of the volatile anesthetic to the patient and the loss of the eye-lash reflex was recorded. During recovery, the time between the beginning of application of 100% oxygen and the first swallowing reflex, the first leg-pulling, the extubation time and the time of crying were noted. There were statistically significant difference the first leg-pulling times between the two groups. Laryngospasm was observed in two patients in Group H, vomiting was observed in one patient in Group H and 3 patients in Group S. The utilisation of sevoflurane in the pediatric patiens may be safer than halothane in terms of having shorter recovery time and no laryngospasm during the induction.
