Abstract


This study was conducted in Anesthesiology department, Assiut University Hospital after being approved by our Local Institutional Committee.


It includes forty patients ASA physical status I or II, aged from 2 to 6 years old. The children underwent elective lower abdominal surgery, genitourinary or lower orthopedic operations. The children were randomly assigned to receive either sevoflurane (group I) or halothane (group II) for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia. Each group included 20 patients. They were predominantly 75% boys and 25% girls.


After pre-medication with I.M midazolam (0.05mglkg) 15 minutes before operation and routine monitoring "pulse oximetry, ECG, end-tidal C02, non-invasive blood pressure" and trans-thoracic bioimpedance, all children were anaesthetized using standard general anaesthetic technique. Anaesthesia was induced. and maintained with either sevoflurane (group I) or halothane (group II) through face mask of the Ayres T-piece with Jackson Rees modification (Breathing circuits type F) with a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (40:60). The inspired inhalational anaesthetic concentration was increased stepwise to maximum of3% halothane and 7% sevoflurane. After deep level of anaesthesia was reached, LMA was then inserted (pupils constricted and central, regular respiration and jaw relaxed).
