Official title
Cardiovascular Effects of Racemic Epinephrine Pellets Used in Pediatric Restorative Dentistry Under General Anesthesia
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary aim of this study was to determine if topical racemic epinephrine pellets affect heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) or mean arterial pressure (MAP) in children receiving dental care under general anesthesia (GA). Thirteen patients requiring prefabricated zirconia crowns on both primary maxillary first molars were recruited into a split-mouth randomized controlled pilot study. Patients received a continuous infusion of propofol and remifentanil with inhaled nitrous oxide/oxygen. After patient randomization and tooth preparation, either saline pellets (control) or racemic epinephrine pellets (treatment) were applied directly to gingival tissue. Vital sign measurements were recorded for 5 minutes. The procedure was repeated with either control or treatment on the contralateral side.
