Article Synopsis
- Adenotonsillectomies are common surgeries to treat obstructive sleep-disordered breathing in children, but managing postoperative pain presents challenges due to the risks of opioids.
- A study conducted in Egypt involved 90 children undergoing elective tonsillectomy, comparing traditional opioid anesthesia with an opioid-free approach using a pterygopalatine ganglion block.
- Results showed that while pain levels were similar in both groups, the opioid-free method led to fewer issues with nausea, vomiting, and hypoxia, indicating it may be a safer alternative for managing postoperative pain.
