Filter by:Emergence delirium is a common complication in children after anesthesia. The incidence of emergence delirium is reported upto 50%. Prevention of emergence delirium in children is important not only for the patient safety but also for the satisfaction of the parents. Midazolam is the most commonly used medications for prevention of emergence delirium. However, it might lead to delayed awakening from anesthesia and respiratory depression. In this study, the investigators will evaluate whether dexmedetomidine can be effectively and safely administered for prevention of emergence delirium in children compared to midazolam.
Sleep is important in maintaining the physiological function of the human body. Recently several studies have reported that preoperative sleep quality is associated with postoperative emergence delirium (ED) The ED is a common in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia with sevoflurane, but studies on the association of sleep quality have been rare. The investigators, therefore, aimed to investigate the relationship between postoperative delirium and pre and postoperative sleep quality in pediatric patients receiving strabismus surgery through this study
In this study, inhalation anesthesia procedure and intravenous anesthesia method will be compared in terms of emergence delirium and recovery time in children who are scheduled for dental treatment under general anesthesia.
The study is a prospective, double blinded, randomized and controlled parallel trial to investigate the effect of the anesthetic care guided by EEG monitor (SedLine) on postoperative delirium. EMODIPOD = Electroencephalography Monitoring tO Decrease the Incidence of PostOperative Delirium
Surgical plethysmography index (SPI) is a device that can noninvasively monitor the balance between the nociception and ant-nociception using pulse photoplethysmographic amplitude (PPGA) and heart rate obtained through an oxygen saturation measuring device. SPI has recently been studied as a useful tool to monitor the stress response of patients due to surgery or anesthesia and to guide the appropriate use of analgesics/anesthetics. However, these SPI devices have been developed for adults and have not been studied in pediatric patients with relatively high heart rates, and no direct effects on post-operative arousal excitability have been reported.
Postoperative delirium is a condition in which patients develop temporary difficulties in maintaining attention and thinking clearly. These new problems can appear after surgery and change throughout the day. This confusion can last several days. The overall purpose of this study is to measure brain activity during sleep and wakefulness to learn about their relationships to delirium after surgery. While participants may not feel like their normal self during the study, they are in the best position to help us learn how to improve the recovery of brain function and sleep in others having surgery. The investigators need to learn from those who have and have not become confused after their surgical procedure.
Emergence delirium/emergence agitation (ED/EA) is a behavioral phenomenon of unclear etiology consisting of short lived behavioral changes that can be both traumatic to families and pose a safety risk to patients and staff. ED is characterized by a variety of presentations, including crying, excitation and agitation, that occur during the early stage of recovery from general anesthesia, generally in the first 30 minutes. Emergence delirium occurs in children of all ages following an anesthetic with halogenated agents (e.g. sevoflurane/isoflurane) with or without having undergone a surgical procedure (e.g. MRI patients). Presently, the treatment for ED is to revert the patient back to a hypnotic state mainly with sedatives so that they may "reset" themselves postulating that by re-inducing a hypnotic state, the brain has time to resolve this issue. The hypothesis of this study is that during ED, there is failure of organized EEG activity, especially alpha wave activity and that by enhancing alpha activity, the incidence of ED may be reduced without the need for additional pharmaceuticals which may be costly, delay recovery and are not without adverse effects specifically cardiopulmonary depression through the use of blue monochromatic light.
Emergence agitation/delirium (EA/ED) is a common complication in pediatric surgery patients, which increases the risk of developing postoperative airway obstruction and respiratory depression. In infants, there is a high incidence of emergence agitation (EA) after desoflurane anesthesia. The aim of the present preliminary study was to determine the safety and efficacy of of intraoperative infusion of dexmedetomidine (DEX) that would prevent postoperative EA and ED in children undergoing day surgery with desoflurane anesthesia
To compare the effect of two different induction method; mask ventilation and intravenous cannulation on emergence agitation on pediatric adenotonsillectomy
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of sugammadex vs. a conventional acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, neostigmine on emergence delirium (ED) during sevoflurane-rocuronium anesthesia in pediatric patients Additionally, the efficacy features of sugammadex compared to neostigmine will be examined by measuring the time from start of administration of reversal agents to recovery of train-of-four (TOF) ratio to 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9. Although the etiology of ED remains unclear, a sense of suffocation or breathing difficulty during emergence from anesthesia has been suggested as a possible cause. Thus, reversal of neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex in pediatric patients maintained with sevoflurane-rocuronium anesthesia may decrease ED due to its faster reversal of neuromuscular blockade and decreased possibility of residual blockade.
