Abstract
Objective To observe the effects of two different intranasal dexmedetomidine doses as premedication on the EC50 of sevoflurane for successful laryngeal mask airway placement in children. Methods Children aged 3-6 years, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1, and scheduled for plastic surgery were enrolled in this study. Children were assigned to receive either spray administration of intranasal dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg (group D1, n=21) or 2 μg/kg (group D2, n=20) approximately 30 minutes before anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane up to 8% in 100% O2, with fresh gas flow set to 6 L/min. After the pupil fixed to the middle position, sevoflurane dial setting was reduced to 5% and fresh gas flow reduced to 3 L/min. The endtidal sevofluran (ETsevo) concentration for laryngeal mask airway insertion sustained for 10 minutes after vein intubation, which was determined according to the Dixon's up and down method. The initial endtidal sevoflurane concentration in each group was set at 2%. ETsevo was increased/decreased (1:1.2) in the next patient according to the response to laryngeal mask airway insertion. Bispectral index, mask acceptance, all response to laryngeal mask airway insertion, and ETsevo of laryngeal mask airway insertion of children were recorded. Results The bispectral index value was 77.4±3.6 in group D2, which was significantly lower than that (87.4±1.9) in group D1 when children entered operation room (P<0.05). Mask acceptance was 76.2% in group D1 and 90.0% in group D2. The EC50 of sevoflurane for laryngeal mask airway insertion was 1.09% (95% CI=0.89%-1.28%) in group D2, which was lower than 1.59% (95% CI=1.41%-1.78%) in group D1 (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with the dose of 1 μg/kg, spray administration of intranasal dexmedetomidine 2 μg/kg as premedication can reduce the sevoflurane EC50 for successful laryngeal mask airway placement in children.
