COMPARISON OF EMERGENCE QUALITY BETWEEN DESFLURANE AND SEVOFLURANE IN GENERAL ANESTHESIA FOR THE TREATMENT OF PULPITIS IN UNCOOPERATIVE PEDIATRIC PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This prospective study evaluates the quality of emergence in 60 uncooperative children aged 3 to 6 years who undergo general anesthesia with desflurane or sevoflurane for the treatment of pulpitis. Participants are randomly assigned to two groups: the desflurane group (D) (n = 30) and the sevoflurane group (S) (n = 30). The results show that the extubation time in group D (4,82 minutes) is significantly shorter than that in group S (6,63 minutes) (p < 0,05). The proportion of patients achieving good emergence in group D (96,67%) is significantly higher than in group S (76,67%) (p < 0,05). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in group D (6,67%) is significantly lower than that in group S (26,67%) (p < 0,05). Furthermore, the Chung discharge score at 60 minutes post-anesthesia in group D (9,45 ± 0,52) is significantly higher than that in group S (8,26 ± 1,02) (p < 0,05). These findings suggest that desflurane provides superior emergence quality compared to sevoflurane in general anesthesia for uncooperative children undergoing pulpitis treatment.
