[A comparative study in children of 3 anesthetic techniques using plethysmography, pulse oximetry and the level of postoperative pain].

Abstract

This study compares three techniques of anesthesia on the ground of the course of plethysmography, pulse oximetry and evaluation of postoperative pain in 75 pediatric patients divided into 3 groups. Results show that combined anesthesia, intravenous and regional anesthesia, has a less desaturation incidence, a better development of plethysmography and a positive reply to postoperative pain.
