This study designed to evaluate the correlation between the effect of intraoperative magnesium sulfate infusion and the incidence of emergence agitation after pediatric ophthalmic surgery
Emergence agitation (EA) is a frequent postoperative complication in pediatric patients after general anesthesia. There are several suggested causes of EA and pain has been considered one of them. Magnesium is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and increasingly used as an analgesic-adjuvant. We evaluate the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) Scale to investigate whether the intraoperative infusion of magnesium sulfate reduces the incidence of EA in pediatric patients who undergo ophthalmic outpatient surgery.

the incidence of emergence agitation (EA)
Using PAED (pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium) score, consider the score 10 or more as occuring of EA. Comparing the score between the placebo group and the intervention group for the difference of the incidence of EA.
Time frame: 15 minute interval at the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU)
the severity of EA
Comparing the maximal PAED score between the placebo group and the intervention group for evaluating difference of severity of EA.
Time frame: 15 minute interval at the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU)
