Methods A total of 1 006 children who underwent electronic rhinopharyngeal endoscopy were selected. The participants were divided into two groups depending on the type of anesthesia(inhalational vs. local)they received. Next, a random number table was created, with 503 participants added in each group. The FLACC pain score, the incidence of mucosal injury, the incidence of adverse reactions, the doctor's experience score, the time needed to complete the examination and the rate of second entry were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of pain and iatrogenic injury among the children in the inhalation anesthesia group was significantly lower than that in the local anesthesia group(P=0.002,P<0.001). No severe adverse reactions were noted in both groups. Additionally, the doctor's experience and examination time in the inhalation anesthesia group were significantly better than those in the local anesthesia group(P=0.042,P=0.026). Conclusion For children undergoing electronic rhinopharyngeal endoscopy, inhalation anesthesia is more beneficial than local anesthesia.
