Scalp Nerve Block on Emergence Agitation
January 23, 2017 updated by: Jong Yeop Kim, Ajou University School of Medicine
The Effect of Scalp Nerve Block on the Emergence Agitation in Children Undergoing Nevus Surgery During Sevoflurane Anesthesia
Emergence agitation is a common problem in children during recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia.
Pain is considered as a cause of postoperative emergence agitation and compounding factor of agitation assessment in children.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of scalp nerve block on the emergence agitation in children undergoing nevus surgery during sevoflurane anesthesia.

Detailed Description
Forty-four children, 1-7 years old, undergoing nevus surgery on head were enrolled.
Anesthesia was induced with thiopental sodium and rocuronium, and maintained with sevoflurane.
Patients were randomly assigned two groups: the control group received IV remifentanil 1 μg/kg, and the block group received scalp nerve block with 0.25% ropivacaine 2-3 ml.
Time to tracheal extubation, recovery time, hemodynamic change, FLACC score, and Watcha behavior scale for emergence agitation were assessed.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Nerve block
Scalp nerve block was performed with 0.25% ropivacaine.
|
0.25% ropivacaine 2-3 ml was injected around the scalp nerves that are located on the head.
Anesthesia was titrated with sevoflurane, maintaining mean arterial pressure and heart rate within 20% baseline value.
|
Active Comparator: Control
Remifentanil was administered intravenously.
|
Anesthesia was titrated with sevoflurane, maintaining mean arterial pressure and heart rate within 20% baseline value.
Remifentanil 1 μg/kg was injected before skin incision.
