What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Amount of rescue opioid medications administered - hydromorphone group
Time Frame: up to 48 hours post surgery
|
Postoperative opioid medication expressed in morphine equivalents
|
up to 48 hours post surgery
|
Amount of rescue opioid medications administered - fentanyl group
Time Frame: up to 48 hours post surgery
|
Postoperative opioid medication expressed in morphine equivalents

|
Evaluation of participant's pain - hydromorphone group
Time Frame: up to 48 hours post surgery
|
Revised Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (rFLACC) Scale Each of the five categories (F) Face; (L) Legs; (A) Activity; (C) Cry; (C) Consolability is scored from 0-2, which results in a total score between zero and ten.
0=no pain/relaxed, 10=distressed/in pain

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Preoperative Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety Scale - hydromorphone group
Time Frame: up to 12 hours prior to surgery
|
Caregiver of the participant is asked questions regarding the child's anxiety level prior to surgery. The questions asked: 1) I am worried about the anesthetic, 2) The anesthetic is on my mind continually, 3) I would like to know as much as possible about the anesthetic, 4) I am worried about the procedure, 5) The procedure is on my mind continually, 6) I would like to know as much as possible about the procedure The measure of agreement with these statements should be graded on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 "not at all" to 5 "extremely." A score of ≥11 identify anxious patients in clinical practice. |

Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale - hydromorphone group
Time Frame: up to 12 hours prior to surgery
|
Assessing child anxiety during the induction of anesthesia.
It contains 22 items in 5 categories: activity, emotional expressivity, state of arousal, vocalization, and use of parents.
Each category receives a score on a scale of 0 to 4 (6 for vocalization) according to the behavior of the patient, with 0 = no anxiety and 4 (or 6 for vocalization) = high anxiety.
