Abstract AR
الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو معرفة مدى تأثير فعالية إعطاء جرعة (0.25 Kg / mg) من عقار ديكساميثاسون خلال التخدير لتخفيف المضاعفات المصاحبة لعملية استئصال اللوزتين.
حيث تم عمل دراسة مقارنة بين 100 مريض يتابعون عيادة الأنف و الأذن و الحنجرة و يحتاجون لاستئصال اللوزتين في الفئة العمرة بين (3 سنوات-15 سنة).
تم تقسيم المرضى إلى مجموعتين المجموعة الأولى أعطيت جرعة 0.25 Kg / mg ديكساميثاسون عند إعطاء التخدير.
و المجموعة الثانية لم تعطى جرعة ديكساميثاسون ثم تم تقييم المضاعفات المصاحبة لعملية استئصال اللوزتين من ناحية الألم بعد العملية، سرعة الإقبال على الطعام، التقييأ و قد أثبتت نتائج هذه الدراسة فعالية إعطاء جرعة 0.25 Kg / mg ديكساميثاسون خلال العملية في تخفيف المضاعفات المصاحبة لاستئصال اللوزتين.
Abstract EN
Tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in otolaryngology practice.
Nausea, vomiting, pain, decreased oral intake and dehydration are frequently associated with tonsillectomy.
This study demonstrates the e!ect of prophylactic administration of dexamethasone as a single dose on post- tonsillectomy morbidities.
This was a comparative cross-sectional study of pediatric patients (3-15 years) attending the otolaryngology outpatient clinics at King Abdulaziz University Hospital between October 2010 – December 2012.
A sample of 100 patients, divided into two groups of 50 patients was included for analysis.
The "rst group received intravenous dexamethasone (0.25 mg/kg) as a single dose with induction of anesthesia.
In the second, control, group, no pre-operative dexamethasone was administered.
The outcome was assessed by a questionnaire distributed to both groups to evaluate post-operative nausea, vomiting, pain and early oral feeding.
Pain score was assessed using a visual analogue scale (ranging from 0 to 10.
Our results showed a statistically signi"cant reduction in morbidity associated with tonsillectomy, supporting the administration of single dose intravenous dexamethasone during tonsillectomy.
