Routine preoperative fasting group undergoes 8 hours of fasting before the operation.

30 pediatric patients drink 3ml/kg 1 hour before the surgery. Although "clear liquid" suggests any drinks that do not contain any solid ingredients, but in this study we define "clear liquid" as water.

Other 30 pediatric patients drink 3ml/kg of carbohydrate containing fluid 1 hour before the surgery. The product name we have is "NoNPO" from NewCare (South Korean company). This fluid does not contain any solid ingredients, so consuming the fluid does not exceed Nil per Os time needed before the surgery.

Pectus Excavatum

The product name "NoNPO" is from South Korean company "Well life." It contains carbohydrate and is frequently used in preoperative fasting patients in order to alleviate patients' discomfort resulting from empty stomach and thirst. It is also known to decrease insulin resistant.

MyPas scale measures 4 categories: Activity, Vocalizations, Emotional Expressivity and State of Apprent Arousal. Each category has 1 to 4 scales for activity, emotional expresivity and state of apprent arousal, and 1 to 6 for vocalizations, that each describes the child's anxiety status. The observer collects total score ranging from 4 to 18.

"Watcha scale" measures child's postoperative delirium at the recovery center. The total score ranges from 0 to 4. 0 is when the child is asleep, 1 is calm and sedated, 2 is when the child is crying but consolable, 3 is when the child is crying and unconsolable, and 4 is when the child is uncontrollable.

Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability score: This is a measurement for pediatric pain. The observer observes the child's face, legs, activity, cry and consolability. The score ranges from 0 to maximum of 8. 0 is when the child is calm without any pain, and 8 being the most painful expression of the child.

Analgesics applied in the ward according to the child's pain scale or as requested by his or her parents

Side Effects

On arrival in the postanesthetic care unit, a patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) was connected to the iv catheter. The PCA regimen consisted of hydromorphone (2 mcg/kg/hr) and ketorolac (0.02 mg/kg/hr) with normal saline (total volume 100ml). PCA was programmed to deliver 1 ml/hr as background infusion and 1 ml per demand with a 10 min lockout during 48 hr period.

IV PCA

Patients underwent insertion of wound catheters by the surgeon just before the closure of incision site. The wound catheters, consisting of double branch and connected to elastomeric pump filled with ropivacaine (0.15~0.25%) and administered at a constant flow rate of 2 ml/hr in each branch of the catheter for 48 hr.

Pain score was measured by the Wong-Baker FACES pain scale at 1, 2, 6, 24, 48 hours after surgery. Pain scale consists of 6 faces with word descriptors and numbers from 0 to 10. The child look at the faces, the nurse or parent uses the words to describe the expression, and the child is asked to point to the face that describes how he/she feels. The number is used to record a pain score. This simple and quick scale can be easily reproduced for use at the bed-side with children as young as 3 years of age.

Number of patients who developed nausea, vomiting, sedation, respiratory depression,or wound catheter related complications are recorded.

A band with bead attachment will be used to produce Acupressure and applied to the P6 (three fingers breath from the wrist crease on th ventral surface of the upper limb). The application will be done 20 minutes prior to anesthesia and explanation as to usage after surgery will be given. The patient of caregiver will apply pressure on the bead for three minutes and repeat this four times a day for the next five days. None of the protocol for prevention of PONV in this group of patients will be changed. The postoperative therapy for nausea and vomiting will be on a PRN (as required) basis. Nausea and vomiting scores and VAS scores for pain estimation will be carried out according to hospital protocol in the PACU amd twice a day thereafter for their period of stay in the hospital. The amount of analgesics and antiemetics used and the number of days spent in the hospital will be registered.

The same band will be placed and turned so the beads face the corresponding point on the dorsal surface of the upper limb area.

Band will remain on from 20 minutes before surgery until the end of the hospital stay.

Acupressure (BioBand)

Band will remain on from 20 minutes before surgery until the end of the hospital stay. The same band will be placed and turned so the beads face the corresponding point on the dorsal surface of the upper limb area.
