Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of EA in pediatric patients undergoing
minor ENT surgery under Sevoflurane and compare opioid-only based intra-operative analgesia
to multi-modal analgesia consisting of opioid and IV acetaminophen or PO acetaminophen
regimen using a validated and standardized EA measurement tool, the Pediatric Anesthesia
Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale. The post operative pain scores will be measured in all
patients by post-op recovery staff using FLACC Score/Wong-Baker FACES (patients 24 months up
to 7 years of age) or Numeric Pain Score for patients 7 years of age. The pre-operative,
surgery, anesthesia and post-operative staff will be all blinded.
