Abstract

Background: Common complications including stridor, laryngospasm, and bronchospasm are important in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Dexamethasone, lidocaine, and ketamine could have significant roles in reducing these complications. Here we aimed to compare the use of these drugs during tonsillectomy. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 100 children that were candidates of tonsillectomy. Patients were divided into 4 groups receiving dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg and lidocaine 1 mg/kg, ketamine 0.5 mg/kg and dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg, dexamethasone 0.1 mg/kg, and normal saline after surgical procedures. We evaluated and compared data regarding the duration of anesthesia, oxygenation saturation, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic (SBP and DBP)), re-intubation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, requiring analgesics after surgeries, recovery stay duration, and nausea and vomiting. Results: Administration of ketamine and dexamethasone was associated with the lowest pain and lowest need for postoperative analgesic administrations in patients (P = 0.02). Patients that received lidocaine and dexamethasone had the lowest frequencies of airway stimulations (P < 0.001). Evaluations of complications in patients revealed that stridor was significantly lower in patients that received ketamine and dexamethasone (P = 0.01). Conclusion: Usage of ketamine and dexamethasone was associated with the lowest pain severities and lowest complications. On the other hand, patients that received lidocaine and dexamethasone had the least airway stimulations.
