Indications: Chronic/ recurrent tonsillitis Adenotonsillar hyperplasia with OSA Tonsillar hyperplasia Peritonsillar abscess Streptococcal carriage with valvular heart disease Adenoiditis Recurrent/ chronic rhino sinusitis/Otitis media
Indications: • Suspicion of malignancy • Hemorrhagic tonsillitis • Abnormal maxillofacial growth • Failure to thrive • Chronic halitosis • Speech impairment • Dysphagia
Contraindications: Systemic infection Uncorrected coagulopathy Occult/ frank cleft palate Bifid uvula: clue to occult cleft palate Sx: hypernasal speech, velopharyngeal incompetence Adenoidectomy: partial
History: Infection Obstructive sleep apnea Bleeding tendencies, sickle cell disease Use of Acetylsalicylic acid ingestion: defer for 10 days…
URI: proceed?? Higher incidence of respiratory complications but little residual morbidity Risk factors: ETT in child <5yrs Prematurity Reactive airway disease Parental smoking Airway surgery Copious secretions Nasal congestion Tait AR et al. Risk factors for perioperative adverse events in children with respiratory tract infections. Anesthesiology 2001;95:299-306 …
Examination: Oral & nasal airway patency: mouth breathing, nasal quality of speech, chest retractions, wheeze, stridor, rales Adenoid facies: elongated face, high arched palate, retrognathic mandible Tonsil size: Loose teeth: age, laryngoscopy, mouth gag Syndromes
Syndromes: Treacher Collins syndrome Crouzon's syndrome Goldenhar syndrome Pierre Robin C.H.A.R.G.E. association Achondroplasia Down syndrome Mucopolysccharidoses: Hunter 1& 2…
Tonsil size: Classification of tonsil size, including percentage of oropharyngeal area occupied by hypertrophied tonsils Barash,5th edition …
Investigations: HB, Hct, Platelet count Bleeding time Clotting time X-ray: neck lateral view: adenoids PT/ aPTT vWD, factor VIII deficiency XRAY chest: LRI
Premedication: Sedation: oral midazolam 0.5mg/kg Antisialagouge: dry secretions better operating field NPO Consent Blood arranged
Monitoring: SPO2 ETCO2 Precordial stetho ECG Temp BP PAP Blood loss Appropriate size i.v. catheter
Airway management Intravenous/ inhalational Preformed RAE ETT cuffed0.5-1 cm smaller size Oral packing: uncuffed tube Armoured LMA Midline fixation Brown- Davis mouth gag
Anesthesia: Maint: propofol infusion/ inhalational/ muscle relaxant Spontaneous/ controlled ventilation Pain management PONV prophylaxis
Armoured LMA: Advantages: • Patent with Boyle-Davis gag • Avoid intubation& its complications • Disadvantages: • Risk of aspiration • Inadequate positioning • Pilot balloon snared • Tonsillar enlargement: difficult placement
LMA: In the presence of a URI : evidence that a LMA may be superior to an ETT. Some evidence that the incidence of airway complications is lower than with an ETT.Most anesthesiologists, however, prefer the intraoperative security of an ETT. Robin G.

Extubation: Larngoscopy &thorough suction Positive airway pressure: Attenuates excitation of superior laryngeal nerve & diminish laryngospasm Expel secretions Maintain oxygenation Awake/ deep Lateral position, head down
Laryngospasm: Prevention: Deep extubation/ fully awake (OSA) I.V. lidocaine Topical anesthesia Magnesium CPAP at extubation
Pain management: NSAIDS Opioids Local infiltration TENS
NSAIDS: NSAIDs did not cause any increase in bleeding requiring return to theatre. There was significantly less nausea & vomiting when NSAIDs were used compared to alternative analgesics.

NSAIDS: Francis et al. Analgesics for postoperative pain after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in children. (Protocol) Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2007, Issue 3.
Opioids: Decreased doses in OSA Opioid sparing effect of NSAIDS
Local anesthetic: Bupivaciane infiltration pre and post surgery, with & without adr, spray Reduces bleeding No evidence that the use of perioperative LA in Pts undergoing tonsillectomy improves post-operative pain Hollis LJ et al. Perioperative local anesthesia for reducing pain following tonsillectomy.Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 1999, Issue 4.
TENS: TENS for post tonsillectomy pain relief is a safe, easy and promising method over alternative analgesic regimes which can be safely employed by the recovery staff. A.K.Gupta et al.

PONV: Incidence: 40-70% Irritant blood in stomach Inflammation/ edema Dehydration: poor oral intake Prophylaxis: Maintain adequate hydration Gastric decompression Antiemetic drugs Acupuncture
Antiemetics: Good evidence: prophylactic anti-emetic effect of dexamethasone, ondansetron, granisetron, tropisetron & dolasetron, metoclopramide are efficacious. Not sufficient evidence: dimenhydrinate/ perphenazine/ droperidol/ gastric aspiration/ acupuncture are efficacious C. M. Bolton et al.

PACU: Bleeding: Pain: Obstruction: PONV: severe C/I Oral intake not required for discharge Adenoidectomy: safely discharged

Post tonsillectomy bleeding: 1ºh’gge: < 24hrs, generally < 6 hrs More brisk, fatal, profuse, slipping of ligatures 2ºh’gge: 24hrs – 5/6 days post op Eschar on tonsillar bed sloughs Measures: Post nasal pack Re-exploration
Re-exploration: O.1%incidence of re-exploration Mortality: 1:14000 Issues: Bleeding and Hypovolemia Difficult airway Aspiration
Bleeding: Signs and symptoms of hypovolemia: mild- severe Large bore i.v. access Correction: colloids and crystalloids Difficult to estimate blood loss: adrenergic drive, swallowing of blood HCT measurement
Difficult airway: Emergent tracheostomy Experienced anesthesiologist 2 large bore suction catheters Extra laryngoscope handles and blades Cuffed ETT and stylets
Anesthesia: Sedation:?? Preoxygenation Rapid sequence induction Induction: thiopentone/ propofol/ etomidate/ ketamine MR: succinylcholine/ rocuronium Gastric tube Extubation: fully awake, normal gag & cough reflexes
OSA Def: recurrent episodes of partial/ complete obstruction of upper airways during sleep resulting in disruption of normal ventilation & sleep patterns. 2% prevalence Peak: 2-8 yrs Level of obstruction: soft palate & base of tongue
Pathophysiology: Anatomical: upper airway narrowing: adenotonsillar hypertrophy, craniofacial anomalies Obesity: strongest predictor Neuromotor factors: reduced central mediated activation of upper airway muscles, neuromuscular diseases
Clinical features: Daytime: Mouth breathing Poor school performance Daytime somnolence Morning headaches Fatigue Hyperactivity Aggression Social withdrawal • Nocturnal: • Snoring • Labored • breathing • Paradoxical • respiratory • effort • Apnea • Sweating • Unusual sleep • positions • Enuresis
Complications: Growth impairment: failure to thrive PHT, cor-pulmonale, heart failure BP dysregulation Each apneic episode-increased PAP-significant PAH & systemic HT- ventricular dysfunction- dysrrhythmias CNS dysfunction: persistent hypercarbia
Evaluation: Gold standard: polysomnography Any age Diff 1ºsnoring & OSAS May predict success of treatment/ postop complications Desaturate with relatively short apneas: <10sec maybe significant Normal children: usually not > 1 apnea/hr
Treatment : Surgery: Adenotonsillectomy Uvulopharyngoplasty Tongue reduction CPAP/ BIPAP SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN TRACHEOSTOMY
Effect of treatment: Treating OSA by tonsillectomy &/or adenoidectomy is associated with increased gain in ht, wt & BMI in most children, including the obese &morbidly obese Neurobehavioral, cor-pulmonale improvement Zafer Soultan et al.
