Bronchoscopy Anesthesia and Neuropsychological Assessment in Children (BANACH) Study

Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University290 enrolled

Overview

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy plays a very important role in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases in children.In China,this procedure is mainly performed under two different anesthesia methods：sedation and general anesthesia(GA) . Which is better ? there are still a lot of controversies . Several early retrospective studies suggest that, in addition to the possible increase in costs, general anesthesia in intraoperative complications, postoperative recovery and other aspects did not bring significant improvement. But clinically we observed that children under sedation often can not cooperate, they often shows anxiety,restless,crying,and so on, under these situation, some restraint measures may be used, which may have an impact on the child's neuropsychological development. Therefore ,we design this study ,aiming to compare the influence between sedation and general anesthesia (GA) on children 's neuropsychological development.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The detection rate of abnormal behavior in both groups

Using the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist(CBCL)for Parents.The CBCL is a widely used parent report questionnaire identifying behavioural and emotional problems in children. The CBCL is administered in interview format and respondents are asked to rate 112 problem items as 0 for "not true of the child," 1 for "somewhat or sometimes true of the child," and 2 for "very true or often true of the child", based on the past two months. The raw scores from the 112 items are then compared with age- and gender-matched controls from the standardization sample, and standard scores are then derived with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Worst value is 80; best value is 30.

Time frame: Three years after operation

Secondary Outcomes

Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) Score of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)-IV

The WISC-IV is designed for children 6 years 0 months to 16 years 11 months. This study used the Full Scale IQ, which ranges from 45 to 155 with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. Higher scores indicate stronger cognitive function. Scores between 90 and 110 are considered to be within the range of average IQ

Time frame: Three years after operation
