title: [Medical care of post-operative pain in pediatric surgery: comparison of three protocols].
abstract: The gains of the struggle against the pain of the child are still fragile and poorly insured despite advances in both information and evaluate the degree of pain in the range of means at our disposal. The absence of systematic management of pain especially post-operative pain in pediatric surgery and the difficulty of obtaining a vein justify this study.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The purpose was to compare analgesic effect of three protocols.
  
  
  METHODS
  prospective and comparative study.
  
  
  METHODS
  Our study was prospective and comparative. It took place in the services of anesthesia and intensive care and pediatric surgery of Gabriel Toure Hospital in Bamako during October 2003 to July 2004.Patients were randomized to three protocols: protocol A patients who received paracetamol suppository at a dose of 15 mg/kg,protocol B patients who received niflumique acid suppository at a dose of 13 mg/kg and protocol C patients who receiving combination paracetamol at a dose of 15 mg/kg with acid niflumique at a dose of 13 mg/kg per rectally. The first dose for each protocol was administered after anesthetic induction. In Protocol C paracetamol was administered immediately after induction and niflumique acid on awakening.
  
  
  RESULTS
  During the period, 202 patients were randomized to three protocols: protocol A (n = 65), protocol B (n = 69),protocol C (n = 68). Poignant pain has been observed with EVS ladder against none with the grid OPS.Patients of protocol C surgery for hernia had moderate pain with 4.40% of cases against 9.60% of patients in the protocol B with P = 0.0024 and 12% of patients in Protocol A, with P = 0.0018 in OPS. Patient's protocol C surgery for hernia showed no intensive pain against 14.20% of the patients in protocol B and 11.4% of patients in group A with EVS scale. No side effects related molecules have been observed in the three protocols.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Association of paracetamol and niflumique acid provides a quality analgesia by postoperative rectally in pediatric surgery.
