About this study

Official title: Effect of Recorded Maternal Voice on the Emergence of General Anesthesia on Pediatric Patients: a Pilot Study

Mother spend a large amount of time with their children. It is assumed that mother contributes to their neurological development not only with visual stimuli, but also with auditory stimuli. A recent study revealed that prefrontal cortex can be activated in response to the self-name being spoken by the mother than by a stranger. Therefore, investigators suppose that recorded maternal voice can stimulate the pediatric patients and thereby fasten the emergence from general anesthesia.

Being tested
recorded maternal voice, recorded stranger's voice
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • recorded maternal voiceProcedure or surgery

    A voice recording will be performed before the operation. At a preoperative visit or preoperative clinic, informed consent was obtained before the recording. On a calm environment, the mother was asked to speak following sentences.

    " OO (first name of child), wake up~. Let's go home with mommy. OO, wake up~. Open your eyes. Take a deep breath. "

    At the end of surgery, the recorded maternal voice was delivered to the child every 15 seconds until he/she wakes up.

  • recorded stranger's voiceProcedure or surgery

    A voice recording will be performed before the operation. On a calm environment, a blinded female investigator was asked to speak following sentences.

    " OO (first name of child), wake up~. Let's go home with mommy. OO, wake up~. Open your eyes. Take a deep breath. "

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Emergence time

    time from discontinuation of anesthetics to extubation

    Measured: During 1 hour after operation

  2. Incidence of emergence delirium (ED)

    The incidence of emergence delirium (ED) was defined as pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) score of >12 or Watcha scale over 3.

    Measured: During 30 minutes after PACU admission

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. peak PAED scale

    The PAED scale is a validated observational measure of 5 aspects of child behavior (caregiver eye contact, purposeful movement, evidence of awareness of surroundings, restlessness, and inconsolability). Ratings are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 20; greater scores indicate greater severity.

    Measured: During 30 minutes after PACU admission

  2. peak Watcha scale

    The Watcha scale is a four-point as followings.

    1. calm
    2. crying, but can be consoled
    3. Crying, cannot be consoled
    4. Agitated and thrashing around

    Measured: During 30 minutes after PACU admission

  3. eye opening or purposeful movement time

    time from discontinuation of anesthetics to spontaneous eye opening

    Measured: During 1 hour after operation

  4. BIS over 60

    At the end of operation, investigators stop the anesthetics and carefully watch the bispectral index (BIS) monitor. Simultaneously, investigators check the duration of time from discontinuation of anesthetics until the BIS >60.

    Measured: During 1 hour after operation
