Postoperative pain and nausea-vomiting (PONV) are the first causes of failure in ambulatory care in pediatric surgery. Actually, the paracetamol/ketoprofen combination in intraoperative care is recommended for effective postoperative analgesia in children. However, intravenous ketoprofen doesn't have the marketing authorization for use in children less than 15 years old and its use is mainly justified by the absence of therapeutic alternatives. Recently, findings from published studies suggest that dexamethasone (DXM), which is actually recommended to prevent PONV for children "at risk", at a dose of 0.1mg/kg, would have analgesic properties above 0.15 mg/kg comparable to non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAI).
Main objective :
To examine the effects of intraoperative DXM (0.2mg/kg and 0.4mg/kg) on the intensity of postoperative pain in the post-anaesthetic care unit (PACU) compared to ketoprofen (1mg/kg).
Secondary objectives :
To examine the effects of intraoperative DXM (0.2mg/kg and 0.4mg/kg) compared to ketoprofen (1mg/kg) on the anesthesia emergence delirium, the intensity of postoperative pain, the consumption of rescue analgesics and the side effects in the first 24 hours after surgery.
Methodology :
Non inferiority, phase III, therapeutic trial. Prospective, randomized double-blinded, monocentric study. Inclusion of 567 patients. Inclusion will be performed by the anesthesiologist, the day of surgery during the preoperative visit.
Each patient will be randomised to receive intraoperative DXM (0.2mg/kg), DXM (0.4mg/kg) (max 20mg) or ketoprofen (1mg/kg) (max 100mg).
The clinical data will be collected prospectively in an electronic database. If the hypothesis of non-inferiority is verified, it is planned to test the superiority of the hypothesis secondarily.
Treatment :
Single injection of DXM (Mylan Dexamethasone® 20 mg/5 ml or 4 mg/1 ml injection ampoule solution) at 0.2 mg / kg or 0.4 mg/kg or single injection of ketoprofen (Medac ketoprofen ® 100 mg/4 ml injection ampoule solution) at 1 mg /kg after general anesthesia induction and before surgery incision.
