Editor—Emergence agitation is a topic of clinical interest since the introduction of sevoflurane and desflurane, and it remains oneoftheunansweredquestionsforthepaediatricanaesthetist. The incidence is reported to be between 10% and 80% depending on definition and evaluation scale used. Emergence agitation, although self-limited, may require physical restraint and is a considerable source of distress for the child, the parents, and the medical staff. We conducted an identical survey in two European countries with a different paediatric anaesthesia set-up in order to better understand the current perception and approach. After approval by the scientific committees of the Italian Paediatric Society of anaesthesia, analgesia and intensive care (SIAATIP) and the Association of Paediatric Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (APAGBI), all European members (851 in total) were invited to take part in a web-based survey consisting of 10 multiple choice questions. A total of 305 questionnaires (response rate 21%) were returned and these indicated a considerable difference among the responders from the two societies regarding their caseload. Fifty-eight per cent of responders from the APAGBI were fulltime paediatric anaesthetists compared with only 14% of the Italian SIAATIP participants. More than 50% of responders from both countries had a working experience of more than 10 yr. The personal incidence of emergence agitation was estimated ,10% in both countries and half of respondents from both countries felt distressed by this phenomenon. There was a large difference regarding prevention and treatment of emergence delirium (Fig. 1). While the majority of Italy-based respondents gave midazolam as first

Routines for reducing the occurrence of emergence agitation during awakening in children, a national survey
Emergence agitation following anesthesia in children is not uncommon. It is, although generally self-limiting, associated with both patient and parents distress. We conducted a national survey around the management of behavioral and neurocognitive disturbances after surgery/anesthesia including a case scenario about a child at risk for emergence reaction. Premedication with clonidine or midazol...
متن کاملOral clonidine vs midazolam in the prevention of sevoflurane-induced agitation in children.
BACKGROUND This randomized, double-blind study tested the hypothesis that, in comparison with midazolam, premedication with oral clonidine reduces the incidence of emergence agitation in preschool children anaesthetized with sevoflurane. METHODS Sixty-eight ASA I-II children undergoing circumcision were randomized into three groups to receive different oral premedication given 30 min before a...

متن کاملPremedication with clonidine is superior to benzodiazepines. A meta analysis of published studies.
BACKGROUND Premedication is considered important in pediatric anesthesia. Benzodiazepines are the most commonly used premedication agents. Clonidine, an alpha2 adrenoceptor agonist, is gaining popularity among anesthesiologists. The goal of the present study was to perform a meta-analysis of studies comparing premedication with clonidine to Benzodiazepines. METHODS A comprehensive literature ...
