Association between emergence delirium and brain status parameters in children undergoing general anesthesia: A prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Emergence delirium is a common postoperative neurological complication in children after general anesthesia. There is no valid tool to predict emergence delirium. Wavelet index, pain threshold index, anxiety index, and comfort index are real-time brain status parameters extracted from the electroencephalogram, which have recently been developed. The aim is to evaluate the association between real-time brain status parameters during emergence and emergence delirium in children undergoing general anesthesia.

Methods

One hundred and thirty patients between 3 and 6 years of age undergoing dental surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in the study. Real-time electroencephalogram data were recorded at four different time points from end of anesthetics administ
