Abstract

Background

Emergence agitation is a common complication after nasal surgeries, marked by increased agitation and a heightened risk of injuries. Factors like urinary catheter, endotracheal tube, postoperative pain, and younger age contribute to its occurrence. Due to the variety of preventive approaches reported in the literature, a network meta-analysis is essential.

Methods

This systematic review employs a network meta-analysis design, following Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA-NMA criteria. Inclusion criteria involve randomized controlled studies on pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for preventing emergence agitation in nasal surgeries. Electronic searches, including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, without language or date restrictions, were conducted. Two independent reviewers selected studies, and data extraction was performed using standardized tables. Bayesian NMA, MetaInsight web app, and Cochrane Foundation Risk of Bias Assessment Tool were applied for data analysis and bias assessment.

Results

After a rigorous selection process, 17 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) encompassing 2,122 patients and 14 interventions were included. The best ranked treatments identified were intraoperative dexmedetomidine (1 μg.kg-1 for 10 minutes as a bolus, followed by 0.4 μg.kg-1.h-1), bilateral nasociliary and maxillary nerve block, ketamine (0.5 mg.kg-1 administered 20 minutes before the end of surgery), nasal compression for 40 minutes before anesthesia induction, and suction above the cuff of the endotracheal tube.

Conclusions

Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions emerged as effective strategies in mitigating emergence agitation after nasal surgeries, offering clinicians valuable options for improving postoperative outcomes in this patient population.

Resumo

Introdução

A agitação ao despertar é uma complicação comum após cirurgias nasais, marcada pelo aumento da agitação e um risco elevado de lesões. Fatores como cateter urinário, tubo endotraqueal, dor pós-operatória e idade mais jovem contribuem para sua ocorrência. Devido à variedade de abordagens preventivas relatadas na literatura, uma meta-análise em rede é essencial.

Métodos

Esta revisão sistemática emprega um desenho de meta-análise em rede, seguindo os critérios do Cochrane Handbook e PRISMA-NMA. Os critérios de inclusão envolvem estudos controlados randomizados sobre intervenções farmacológicas e não farmacológicas para prevenir agitação de emergência em cirurgias nasais. Buscas eletrônicas, incluindo PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library e Web of Science, sem restrições de idioma ou data, foram conduzidas. Dois revisores independentes selecionaram estudos, e a extração de dados foi realizada usando tabelas padronizadas. Bayesian NMA, MetaInsight web app e Cochrane Foundation Risk of Bias Assessment Tool foram aplicados para análise de dados e avaliação de viés.

Resultados

Após um rigoroso processo de seleção, 17 Ensaios Clínicos Randomizados (ECRs) abrangendo 2.122 pacientes e 14 intervenções foram incluídos. Os tratamentos mais bem classificados identificados foram dexmedetomidina intraoperatória (1 μg.kg-1 por 10 minutos como bolus, seguido por 0,4 μg.kg-1.h-1), bloqueio bilateral dos nervos nasociliar e maxilar, cetamina (0,5 mg.kg-1 administrado 20 minutos antes do final da cirurgia), compressão nasal por 40 minutos antes da indução da anestesia e sucção acima do balonete do tubo endotraqueal.

Conclusão

Tanto as intervenções farmacológicas quanto as não farmacológicas surgiram como estratégias eficazes para mitigar a agitação ao despertar após cirurgias nasais, oferecendo aos médicos opções valiosas para melhorar os resultados pós-operatórios nessa população de pacientes.
