Abstract
Oral pentazocine-atropine, oral diazepam-atropine and IM pentazocine-atropine were compared as preoperative medication in children. Observations in 300 children ages 1–14 years included the emotional state at lime of induction of anaesthesia, smoothness of induction, dryness of oral mucosa and tongue, incidence of vomiting, and emotional state and length of stay in the recovery room. The incidence of a calm stale at the time of induction and smoothness of induction of anaesthesia was the same following oral and IM premedication. There was satisfactory drying of salivary secretions. The incidence of vomiting in the recovery room was the same following oral and IM premedication. However, children in age groups 1-4 and5-9years who received diazepam-atropine were more restless in the recovery room than those who received oral or IM penlaiocine-atropine. More children in groups 1-4 and5-9years who received IM pentazocine-atropine stayed longer in the recovery room. We conclude that oral diazepam-atropine and oral pentazocine-atropine are comparable as to preoperative medication IM pentazocine-atropine andthat they can be given as an alternate to intramuscular injection. Les associations pentazocine-atropine per os (P.O.) et diazépam-atropine P.O. uni été comparées à l’association pentazocine atropine intramusculaire (IM.) comme médications préanesthésiques chez l’enfant: 300 enfants âgés de l à 14 ans ont été étudiés. Les phénomènes observés incluaient l’état psychique au moment de l’induction de l’anesthésie, la douceur de l’induction, la sécheresse des muqueuses buccale et linguale, l’incidence de vomissements, l’tat psychique et la longueur du séjour en salle de recouvrance. Les groupes I.M. et P.O n’étaient pas différents quant à l’incidence d’un état psychique calme à l’induction ou quant à la douceur de l’induction. Les effets sur la salivation étaient satisfaisants. L’incidence de vomissements en salle de recouvrance était identique pour les groupes I.M. et P.O. Cependant, les enfants dans les groupes a” ége 1-4 et 5-9 ans qui ont reçu l’association diazépam-atropine P.O. étaient plus agités en salle de recouvrance que ceux qui avaient reçu l’association pentazocine-atropine P.O. ou I.M. On a noté une fréquence plus élevée de séjour allongé en salle de réveil dans les groupes d’âge 1-4 et 5-9 ans qui avaient reçu ta pentazocine-atropine I.M. Nous concluons que le groupe diazépam-atropine P.O.I pentazocine-atropine P.O. est comparable au groupe pentazocine-atropine I.M. Ces combinaisons P.O. peuvent constituer une alternative à l’injection intramusculaire.Keywords
