Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if deep touch pressure (DTP) can reduce emergence agitation (EA) in pediatric patients aged 3 to 10 years undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy under general anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does deep touch pressure (DTP) using a compression vest reduce the incidence of emergence agitation (EA) in the recovery room?
Does DTP reduce the severity of EA, as measured by the Pediatric Assessment of Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale?
Researchers will compare:
Intervention Group: Pediatric patients who receive DTP using the HUGgy compression vest during the recovery period.
Control Group: Pediatric patients who receive standard postoperative care without DTP.
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (DTP) or the control group.
Undergo standard general anesthesia for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Wear the HUGgy compression vest if assigned to the intervention group.
Be monitored for emergence agitation using the PAED scale and FLACC pain scale in the recovery room.
Receive rescue medication (nalbuphine) if severe EA occurs.
This study will help determine if DTP can be used as a safe and effective non-pharmacological method to reduce emergence agitation in pediatric patients.
