Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Comparison of two anaesthetic techniques in children undergoing vitreo-retinal surgery: inhalational vs TCI (Target controlled infusion)  Children undergoing Vitreoretinal surgeries will receive either TCI (Target controlled infusion) or Inhalational based Anesthesia Technique 
Comparator Agent  Inhalational( Sevoflurane) Group   Induced with sevoflurane 8% with fixed flow of 5L/min of 100% oxygen. After induction, iv cannula will be secured and fentanyl bolus of 2mcg/kg given. After which, appropriate size supraglottic device (SGD) will be inserted Correct placement of SGD will be confirmed by appearance of ETCO2 waveform in all children. In case of 3 attempts at SGD placement, child will be intubated with ETT and excluded from the study. In both the groups atracurium bolus of 0.25mg/kg will be given after SGD is secured in place. Time from starting of anaesthetic agents (sevoflurane) till the appearance of ETCO2 waveform after insertion of SGD will be noted. Ease of insertion of LMA and number of attempts taken will also be recorded Maintenance of Anaesthesia oxygen, air and sevoflurane ( MAC 1.0-1.2) Atracurium boluses will be administered Intra-op analgesia provided with iv PCM and fentanyl boluses0.5 microgram/kg. Intraoperative vitals will be monitored at 5 minutes interval. Twenty minutes before end of surgery, iv 0.1mg/kg Ondensetron and 0.15 mg/kg of Dexamethasone will be administered. At the end of surgery sevoflurane will be discontinued. Effect of NMB agent will be reversed once spontaneous breathing efforts are present. SGD will be removed based of clinical parameters (along with MAC 0.3 and BIS 70) After switching off of anesthetic agents (sevoflurane/propofol) three time periods will be noted: removal of SGD response to simple verbal command acheivement of an Aldrette score of 9 or more In the PACU, the follwing parameters will be noted at 10 min intervals Aldrette score, PAED( Paediatric anaesthesia emergence delirium scale) score, PNRS( Paediatric Numeric rating score), PONV incidence.  
Comparator Agent  TCI ( Target Controlled Infusion )Propofol Group   Iv Fentanyl bolus of 2mcg/kg will be given immediately followed by iv propofol infusion with TCI pump (Paedfusor model). Cp 4-6 mcg/L along with BIS titration (45-55). After which appropriate size SGD will be inserted. Correct placement of SGD ( Supraglottic device)will be confirmed by appearance of ETCO2 waveform in all children. In case of 3 attempts at SGD placement, child will be intubated with ETT and excluded from the study. Atracurium bolus of 0.25mg/kg will be given after SGD is secured in place. Time from starting of anaesthetic agents (sevoflurane/propofol) till the appearance of ETCO2 waveform after insertion of SGD will be noted. Ease of insertion of LMA and number of attempts taken will also be recorded. Maintenance of anaesthesia oxygen, air and propofol infusion (TCI-), titrated to maintain Cp (target plasma concentration) of 3-6 mcg/L and BIS level of 45-55. Atracurium boluses will be administered Intra-op analgesia provided with iv PCM and fentanyl boluses0.5 microgram/kg. Intraoperative vitals will be monitored at 5 minutes interval. Twenty minutes before end of surgery, iv 0.1mg/kg Ondensetron and 0.15 mg/kg of Dexamethasone will be administered. At the end of surgery Effect of NMB agent will be reversed once spontaneous breathing efforts are present. SGD will be removed based of clinical parameters (along with MAC 0.3 and BIS 70) After switching off of anesthetic agents (propofol) three time periods will be noted: removal of SGD response to simple verbal command acheivement of an Aldrette score of 9 or more In the PACU, the follwing parameters will be noted at 10 min intervals Aldrette score, PAED( Paediatric Anaesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale ), PNRS( Paediatric Numerical rating Score), PONV incidence.

Brief Summary  

For many decades, inhalational agents have been commonly used for the maintenance of anesthesia in pediatric population. However, with the introduction of newer intravenous induction agents and short acting opioids have revolutionized the day care anesthesia practice and subsequently TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia) has gained popularity in this patient population. (1,2,10)

 

Vitreoretinal surgeries are performed in children with retinal abnormalities and generally last for a long duration of time.  Using inhalational anesthesia with Sevoflurane for such a prolonged duration has been associated with emergence agitation. (3,4)

 

Manual verses TCI infusion of propofol for maintenance of anesthesia has been found comparable in children but the use of TCI is considered safe and easily titrable with BIS monitoring. (5,8)

 

 

The use of TIVA with propofol infusion for maintenance of anesthesia in adults has shown to have a clear headed recovery.(13) 

 

Earlier dedicated pediatric TCI infusion model were not in common practice .Now introduction of PK based TCI models like Pedfussor and Kataria available for children.(7,11,12)

 

In our knowledge No study has been done so far  to compare sevoflurane and TCI propofol infusion for maintainance of anesthesia in pediatric ophthalmic surgeries.

 

We hypothesize that aneathesia administered using TCI propofol infusion in children, recovery will be clear headed  and early discharge from PACU as compared to standard inhalational technique using Sevoflurane
