Association of volatile anesthesia exposure and depth with emergence agitation and delirium in children: Prospective observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sevoflurane anesthesia is widely used in pediatric ambulatory surgery. However, emergency agitation (EA) and emergency delirium (ED), as major complications following sevoflurane anesthesia in children, pose risks to surgery and prognosis. Identifying the high risk of EA/ED, especially anesthesia exposure and the depth of anesthesia, may allow preemptive treatment.

Methods

A total of 137 patients were prospectively enrolled in this single-center observational cohort study to assess the incidence of EA or ED. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to test the association between volatile anesthesia exposure and depth with EA or ED. The Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS), Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) and Face, Legs, Ac
