Li Y, Song B, Li Z, et al. - In this randomized controlled trial, researchers sought to compare the effects of sufentanil and fentanyl on postoperative sleep quality, as well as to assess perioperative hemodynamics, postoperative pain, and complications of children undergoing tonsillectomy and adenotomy. Seventy-six patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: sufentanil or fentanyl. At 2, 4, and 6 hours after surgery, children who received sufentanil after tonsillectomy and adenotomy under general anesthesia had better postoperative sleep quality and reduced postoperative pain. Furthermore, children who were given sufentanil during surgery had greater hemodynamic stability. Sufentanil, as a result, should be considered as a better option for facilitating rapid recovery in children following tonsillectomy and adenotomy.
