NCT01550354

Brief Summary

Several methods have been demonstrated to improve intubating conditions during sevoflurane induction in children. These include opioids, propofol, and addition of neuromuscular blocking agents in pediatric patients. But the study about the comparison of these agents has been uncommon. Frenectomy is common procedure to treat ankyloglossia. It is a short procedure performed under general anesthesia. The investigators aimed to compare intubating conditions among children with propofol, alfentanil or rocuronium after sevoflurane induction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Intubating condition

    The investigators will perform the evaluation of intubating condtion through scoring system provided by Viby-Mogensen during intubation procedure. The scoring system is consisted of excellent, good, and poor.

    Participants will be followed for the duration of intubation, an expected average of 1 minute.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intravenous administration of propofol 2 mg/kg before intubation

Drug: administration of propofol

Alfentanil group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Drug: administration of alfentanil

Rocuronium group
