Overview

Prospective observational study evaluates postprocedural pain in children, suggesting improved sedation protocols are needed.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate postprocedural pain intensity following gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures in children and identify factors influencing pain perception.
  • Prospective observational study involving pediatric patients undergoing elective endoscopic procedures.
  • Pain intensity assessed 30 minutes post-procedure using validated scales for different age groups.
  • Demographics, procedural characteristics, and satisfaction analyzed statistically.
  • 39 patients included (16 boys, 23 girls) with combined esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy as the most common procedure (61.5%).
  • Mean pain score was 2.69 (SD = 1.73), higher in females (mean = 3.08) than males (mean = 2.12), p = 0.086.
  • Overall satisfaction score was 4.64 (SD = 0.58), significantly higher among younger patients (p = 0.03).
