PURPOSE: @entity933 ( @entity933 ) is a common @entity260 of ambulatory pediatric surgery done under general anesthesia with @entity2614 . However, perioperative analgesic techniques have been shown to reduce @entity2614 -induced @entity933 . The primary objective of this investigation was to examine whether an ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (II/IH) @entity616 for ambulatory pediatric @entity169 could reduce the incidence of @entity2614 -induced @entity933 . METHODS: The subjects of this prospective randomized double-blind study were 40 @entity1 ranging in age from 1 to 6  years, who were scheduled to undergo ambulatory @entity169 . The @entity1 were randomized to either receive or not to receive an ultrasound-guided II/IH @entity616 (Group B and Group NB, respectively). General anesthesia was maintained with @entity2614 and @entity3810 . The primary outcome assessed was @entity933 , evaluated using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence @entity933 (PAED) scale 30  min after emergence from general anesthesia. The secondary outcomes assessed were @entity282 , evaluated using the @entity158 ( @entity158 ), and the amount of intra-operative @entity2614 given. RESULTS: The median PAED scale scores did not differ between Groups B and NB at 30  min (P  =  0.41). @entity158 scores also did not differ significantly between the groups, but the mean amount of intraoperative @entity2614 given was significantly lower in Group B than in Group NB (P  <  0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-guided II/IH @entity616 for ambulatory pediatric @entity169 did not reduce @entity933 , but it did decrease the amount of intra-operative @entity2614 needed.
