Effectiveness of propofol on incidence and severity of emergence agitation on pediatric patients undergo ENT and ophthalmic surgery: Prospective cohort study design.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Emergence agitation is a common problem that can occur after administration of general anesthesia and during recovery time especially in pediatric patients, which can result in life-threatening events if not managed adequately and timely. Usage of modern inhalational anesthetic agents like sevoflurane, isoflurane, and also halothane is a common cause for emergence agitation. Currently, the use of propofol is gaining acceptance largely on decreasing emergence agitation in addition to prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of prophylaxis administration of propofol on incidence & severity of emergence agitation on pediatric patients undergo ENT & ophthalmic surgery under general anesthesia.
