About

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the impact of local anesthesia in health children who were sedated for dental procedures.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Impact of local anesthesia on sedation depth and hemodynamic parameters
• Impact of presence of local anesthesia on the requirement of propofol to maintain deep sedation.

Participants were deeply sedated and one group received local anesthesia at the anesthesia induction, while other group of patients received local anesthesia after the maintenance anesthesia was discontinued.

If there is a comparison group:

Full description

Local anaesthesia (LA) is often preferred for stabilization of vital signs, depth of anaesthesia in dental restorations but the optimal timing of LA administration during sedation is varies according to personal preferences of dentists. Aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the effects of the timing of LA on hemodynamic parameters, depth of anaesthesia and total dose of anaesthetic drugs given in paediatric patients sedated for dental procedures.

Records of healthy children who were sedated for dental restorations will be divided into two groups. Patients who received LA at the beginning of sedation or who received LA at the end of sedation after completion of restorations. It is planned to compare the patient groups in terms of demographic data, hemodynamic data, BIS scores, Ramsey Sedation Scale scores, total propofol dose administered.

Enrollment: 50 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 2 to 8 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria were ASA status III-V, age older than 8 years, having any history of allergy to anaesthetic drugs and renal disease interfering with drug metabolism.
