Relations between post-op bleeding and corticosteroids

More and more kids are subjected to tonsillectomies. The number of operations in kids younger than 15 years old has enhanced obviously.
After tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy kids may have vomiting and nausea. So, doctors direct using corticosteroids during surgeries in order to lower these post-operation negative reactions.
Unfortunately, while corticosteroids minimize risks/severity linked with nausea and vomiting, they are associated with some other troubles. They may produce bleeding during and after tonsillectomies. Recent studies have displayed that the number of complications after tonsillectomies has increased during several last years. Since number of tonsillectomies becomes more increased, complications appear more frequently too.
Certain scientists decided to determine whether bleeding occurs after tonsillectomies because of corticosteroids. They tried to find out whether there is any obvious difference in appearing of bleeding between children who apply the corticosteroid dexamethasone during tonsillectomies and those who don’t receive this drug. Thus, the specialists enrolled over 300 kids in the research.
Results of the research have showed that bleeding of the levels I and II are increased by 5% in those that take a single measure of dexamethasone during tonsillectomy.
So, corticosteroids don’t enhance the risk connected with post-operation bleeding obviously. However health care providers doubt about safety of corticosteroids administered during tonsillectomies, they don’t enhance serious bleeding events significantly.
