There are few reports about its use for postoperative analgesia by continuous intravenous infusion. Its complications include , hypoxia, sedation, pruritus ,nausea and/or vomiting. The investigators design this protocol to test efficacy of analgesia of three different rates of continuous intravenous sufentanil infusion for postoperative pain management following coblation tonsillectomy or adeno-tonsillectomy in children.
