Sleep quality and emergence delirium in children undergoing strabismus surgery: a comparison between preschool- and school-age patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emergence delirium (ED) is common in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia with sevoflurane. Preoperative sleep quality is associated with the risk factors for ED. However, research on the relationship between sleep quality and ED is limited. We aimed to investigate the relationship between ED and preoperative sleep quality in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery.

Methods

This clinical trial included pediatric patients aged 4-12 years who underwent elective strabismus surgery. The patients and their parents were questioned about the patients' preoperative sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. For anesthesia induction, thiopental (5 mg/kg) and rocuronium (0.6 mg/kg) were used, and anesthesia was maintain
