Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Desaturation events

    The oxygen saturation per night during sleep will be monitored using a pulse oximeter by the parents from postoperative Day 1 to Day 10. The research team will instruct parents on how to properly apply the oximeter to the child and repeat these measurements. The primary outcome measure is desaturation events during sleep per night.

    from postoperative day 1 to day 10, each night

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Scores of Pain Scale (the Faces Scale)

    every four hours from postoperative Day 1 to Day 10 (eg: 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, and 20:00, each day)

  • Scores of Pain Scale (the Objective Pain Scale)

    every four hours from postoperative Day 1 to Day 10 (eg: 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, and 20:00, each day)

  • Tonsillar bleeding events

    from postoperative day 1 to day 10

  • Adverse drug reactions

    from postoperative day 1 to day 10

Study Arms (2)

individualized opioid analgesia regimen group

EXPERIMENTAL

The dose of oral morphine for patients in the individualized group is determined according to the results of fentanyl test.

Drug: Individualized oral morphine

conventional opioid analgesia regimen group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in the conventional group are given routine dose of oral morphine.

Drug: Conventional oral morphine

Interventions

Analgesic effectiveness is assessed using the Faces Scale by the parents every four hours from postoperative Day 1 to Day 10 (eg: 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, and 20:00, each day). If the Faces Scale score \> 6, the child receive rescue oral morphine analgesia. Patients with positive results of fentanyl test receive oral morphine 100μg/kg per dose, while patients with negative results receive oral morphine 500μg/kg per dose.
