Deskripsi
Abstract Background Pain management, as a key component of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), can effectively relieve perioperative pain and anxiety. However, there are few studies on the application of pain management based on ERAS in pediatric surgery patients. We aimed to examine the effect of ERAS‐based perioperative pain management in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Methods From March 2021 to July 2021, a randomized controlled single‐blind study was conducted on children with OSA and scheduled to undergo adenotonsillectomy. The children were randomly assigned to either control group (n = 60) or ERAS group (n = 60). Traditional analgesia measures were provided to children in the control group, whereas ERAS‐based optimized analgesia measures were provided to children in the ERAS group. The pain scores, anxiety scores and diet quality scores were compared between the two groups. Results The pain scores after surgery in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 6 h, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days after surgery. Furthermore, the diet quality scores in the ERAS group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 6 h, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days after surgery. The anxiety scores after surgery in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusions Perioperative pain management based on ERAS can significantly alleviate postoperative pain, improve quality of life, and promote the accelerated rehabilitation of children with OSA undergoing adenotonsillectomy.
