A Comparison between the Effects of Propofol and Sevoflurane in Pediatric Strabismus Surgery on the Quality and Depth of Anesthesia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Strabismus surgery may be associated with several undesirable complications as increased incidence of the oculocardiac reflex (OCR), hemodynamic changes, emergency agitation (EA), postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting. Previous studies suggested that deeper anesthesia monitored by bispectral index (BIS) protects against OCR. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the type of anesthesia on the quality of anesthesia in pediatric patients.

Patients and methods

One hundred American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classes I and II pediatric patients, aged between 3 and 6 years old of both genders, who were subjected to strabismus surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomized into two equal groups (each = 50);
