Background Several studies have identified side effects of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, such as laryngeal pain, dysphonia, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The laryngeal mask airway (LMAw) is believed to decrease these side effects. The aim of this trial was to compare postoperative discomfort, emergence delirium, and recovery time of patients who received eithe...

We aimed to determine what is known about pediatric delirium in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). METHODS We conducted a systematic search for and review of studies of the accuracy of delirium diagnosis in children in the PICU. Secondar...

BackgroundEmergence delirium (ED) in children after general anaesthesia causes significant distress patients, their family members, and clinicians; however, electroencephalogram (EEG) markers predicting ED have not been fully investigated.MethodsThis prospective, single-centre observational study enrolled aged 2–10 yr old under sevoflurane anaesthesia. was assessed according to Diagnostic Stati...

BACKGROUND The authors conducted a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial to determine whether the use of sevoflurane in children undergoing anesthesia and surgery results in a higher incidence of postoperative maladaptive behavioral changes as compared with halothane. METHODS Children and their parents (n = 102) were randomly assigned to either a halothane group (n = 50) or a sevoflurane...

We conducted this qualitative study to understand the experiences of military Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) working with service personnel who have traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and are emerging from general anesthesia. This study is important because there are no studies in the literature that describe the experiences of anesthetists...

PURPOSE Emergence agitation (EA) is frequently observed in children undergoing general anaesthesia. This study tested whether the addition of an intra-operative low-dose infusion of dexmedetomidine to fentanyl treatment reduced the incidence of emergence delirium following desflurane anesthesia in children undergoing strabismus surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 96 children (1-5 years ...
