Sponsor's own description

Adenotonsillectomy surgery in paediatrics is commonly managed as an ambulatory surgery. This may be attributed to the use of the electro-dissection surgical technique that decreases the incidence of immediate postoperative haemorrhage. However, the use of the electro-cautery technique increases postoperative inflammation.

This study aimed to compare the glossopharyngeal nerve block using the blind technique with the use of the ultrasound guidance Primary: FLACC score in the two groups 0,2,4,6 h after surgery at rest and with swallowing Secondary: need to analgesics, the difficulty of the technique, time consumption, recovery time, surgeon satisfaction, parents satisfaction, staff nurse satisfaction, anaesthetist self-confidence
