Abstract

Objective To compare the influences of penehyclidine and atropine on body temperature as premedication in pediatric patients. Methods 60 pediatric patients were randomly divided into group I (penehyclidine group) and group II (atropine group). Penehyclidine (0.02mg/kg) was injected into muscle in group I (n=30), while in group II, atropine (0.02mg/kg) was injected into muscle (n=30) when in the operation room. Temperature of nasopharynx was monitored. Results Body temperature changed slightly in the penehyclidine group (P0.05); However, body temperature increased significantly in the atropine group(P0.01). Conclusions Penehyclidine, Which is better than atropine, has little influence on body temperature as premedication in pediatric patients.
