Comparison Among Propofol, Alfentanil and Rocuronium as Adjunct to Sevoflurane Anesthesia for Endotracheal Intubation in Children With Frenectomy

June 3, 2021 updated by: Yonsei University
Several methods have been demonstrated to improve intubating conditions during sevoflurane induction in children. These include opioids, propofol, and addition of neuromuscular blocking agents in pediatric patients. But the study about the comparison of these agents has been uncommon. Frenectomy is common procedure to treat ankyloglossia. It is a short procedure performed under general anesthesia. The investigators aimed to compare intubating conditions among children with propofol, alfentanil or rocuronium after sevoflurane induction.

Time Frame
Intubating condition
Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of intubation, an expected average of 1 minute.
The investigators will perform the evaluation of intubating condtion through scoring system provided by Viby-Mogensen during intubation procedure. The scoring system is consisted of excellent, good, and poor.
Participants will be followed for the duration of intubation, an expected average of 1 minute.
