Post-anesthesia care unit delirium in children with moyamoya disease undergoing indirect revascularization: incidence and risk factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Delirium in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) may be associated with worse outcomes in children with moyamoya disease (MMD). This retrospective study aimed to describe the prevalence of PACU delirium in children with MMD and investigate its risk factors.

Methods

Patients with MMD aged < 15 years who underwent indirect revascularization between January 2014 and October 2023 were included in this study. Delirium was assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale. Potential risk factors for PACU delirium were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression.

Results

PACU delirium occurred in 245 (33%) of the 750 hemispheric procedures performed in 522 patients. Delirium was associated with a higher incidence in patients undergoing the firs
