Primary : < 24hrs, generally < 6 hrs More brisk, fatal, profuse, slipping of ligatures

Secondary: 24hrs – 5/6 days post op Eschar on tonsillar bed sloughs

Measures:Post nasal packRe-exploration

Issues: Bleeding and Hypovolemia Difficult airway Aspiration Emergency surgery full stomach with blood

Assessment Volume repletion OT preparation : suction , iv lines large bore

, Difficult airway Positioning RSI Tracheostomy

Large bore i.v. access Correction: crystalloids ,colloids , blood Difficult to estimate blood loss: adrenergic drive,

swallowing of blood HCT measurement

Risk factors :

Anesthesia related Inadequate depth Airway irritation with volatiles( D> I>

E>H=S), mucus or blood and suction catheter or laryngoscope.

Thiopentone increase incidence Propofol< Sevo Less experience

Patient related Age URI Smoking GERD H/o choking during sleep

Surgery related

T&A (21-26%)Appendicectomy, cervical dilation, hypospadias, thyroid

Prevention adequate depth Awake vs deep extubation Positive pressure before extubation

( artificial cough) Drugs : anticholinergics , BZD, lidocaine ,

magnesium ( 15mg/kg in 30 ml 0.9% NS over 20 min after intubation)

Intravenous/ inhalational Preformed RAE ETT cuffed/ uncuffed Oral packing Armoured LMA Midline fixation Brown- Davis mouth gag

Maint: propofol infusion/ inhalational/ muscle relaxant

Spontaneous/ controlled ventilation

Pain management PONV prophylaxis

Advantages: Patent with Boyle-

Davis gag Avoid intubation& its

complications

Disadvantages: Risk of aspirationInadequate positioningPilot balloon snaredTonsillar enlargement: difficult placement

In the presence of a URI : evidence that a LMA may be superior to an ETT.

Some evidence that the incidence of airway complications is lower than with an ETT. Most anesthesiologists, however, prefer the intraoperative security of an ETT.

Laryngoscopy & thorough suction

Positive airway pressure: 1. Attenuates excitation of superior laryngeal nerve

& diminish laryngospasm2. Expel secretions3. Maintain oxygenation

Awake/ deep Lateral position, head down

Prevention:1. Deep extubation/ fully awake (OSA)2. I.V. lidocaine3. Topical anesthesia4. Magnesium5. CPAP at extubation

NSAIDS

Opioids

Local infiltration

TENS

NSAIDs did not cause any increase in bleeding requiring return to theatre. There was significantly less nausea & vomiting when NSAIDs were used compared to alternative analgesics.

Decreased doses in OSA

Opioid sparing effect of NSAIDS

Bupivaciane infiltration pre and post surgery, with & without adr, spray

Reduces bleeding No evidence that the use of perioperative LA in

Pts undergoing tonsillectomy improves post-operative pain

Hollis LJ et al. Perioperative local anesthesia for reducing pain following tonsillectomy. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 1999, Issue 4.

TENS for post tonsillectomy pain relief is a safe, easy and promising method over alternative analgesic regimes which can be safely employed by the recovery staff.

Incidence: 40-70%1. Irritant blood in stomach2. Inflammation/ edema3. Dehydration: poor oral intake

Prophylaxis:1. Maintain adequate hydration2. Gastric decompression3. Antiemetic drugs4. Acupuncture

Good evidence: prophylactic anti-emetic effect of dexamethasone, ondansetron, granisetron, tropisetron & dolasetron, metoclopramide are efficacious.

Not sufficient evidence: dimenhydrinate/ perphenazine/ droperidol/ gastric aspiration/ acupuncture are efficacious
