Investigation of the Optimum Time for Intravenous Access After Anesthesia Induction with Sevoflurane in Pediatric Patients Without Premedication.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Anesthesia induction is usually achieved with sevoflurane for pediatric patients without vascular access. The aim of this study was to investigate the optimum intravenous access time and to evaluate the corresponding bispectral index (BIS) value in pediatric patients after sevoflurane induction.

Method

This prospective study included 100 children enrolled between January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018 at Istanbul Medeniyet University Goztepe Training and Research Hospital. Anesthesia was induced with 8% sevoflurane and oxygen. Measurements included mask adaptation time, time to loss of the ciliary reflex, time to recovery of regular breathing, and optimal timing of intravenous access time with the corresponding BIS values, as well as the time elapsed for the BIS value
