[The influence on the peeling off time of the tunica albuginea after 4-8℃ cool water was applied to children's low temperature plasma-assisted tonsillectomy].

Objective

The aim of this study is to discuss the influence on the peeling off time of the tunica albuginea after 4-8℃ cool water was applied to children 's low temperature plasmaassisted tonsillectomy.Method:One hundred and seventeen benign hypertrophy of tonsil patients were recruited,the 56 cases of them were served as experimental group,who were treated with plasma tonsillectomy using 4-8℃ normal saline as medium,while the 61 cases were served as control group,who were treated with plasma tonsillectomy using 22-25℃ normal saline as medium.Then,we analyzed the peeling off time of the tunica albuginea between experimental and control group.Result:The difference of formation time between experimental group and control group was not statistically significant(P >0.05).The average peeling off time of the tunica albuginea was (11.32±2.51) days in experimental group,while time was(15.03±4.12) days in control group.There was a statistical difference between them.

Conclusion

The use of 4-8℃ cold water in children's low temperature plasma-assisted tonsillectomy can reduce the peeling off time of the tunica albuginea,and it indicate that the ice water medium can reduce the heat injury caused by the plasma operation.
