Pre-emptive Local Anesthesia and Emergence Behavior After Pediatric Dental General Anesthesia
Sponsor: seher orbay yasli
Summary
This study will evaluate whether pre-emptive local anesthesia improves early recovery after ambulatory pediatric dental general anesthesia. Children aged 7-12 years scheduled for dental treatment under general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to receive either pre-emptive local anesthesia or no local anesthesia. Emergence delirium, pain, sedation level, and recovery quality will be assessed during the early postoperative period. The primary outcome will be the longitudinal Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale score during the first 30 minutes in the post-anesthesia care unit.
