Emergency Agitation in T&A

Seoul National University Bundang Hospital42 enrolled

Overview

Sevoflurane has been used commonly in pediatric anesthesia since 1990. However, it has caused more emergency agitation (EA) that other inhalation agents and the incidence is up to 80%. Therefore, lower minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane will reduce the EA when it is used with remifentanil in pediatric general anesthesia.
